Abstract: A safety-type terminal for an electrical extension cord, which protects against electrical shock and burn, comprises an elongated, elastomeric, non-conductive body; pairs of internal female contact strips which are spaced apart longitudinally of the body; contact slots for each female contact strip spread apart transversely of the body; and prong-admitting passageways from the exterior surface of the body to the female contact strips. The terminal further comprises electrically non-conductive safety guards each of which is arranged in line and beneath the mouths of a different pair of female contact slots. The safety guards contain prong-passing openings, the spacing of which matches the spacing of the body passageways.
