Electric socket for receiving male plug, has hook maintaining slider in armed position in retaining unit`s active configuration, and slider returned to rest position in which retractors are disengaged from contacts in inactive configuration

摘要

The socket has female contacts (3) with a retaining unit placed in an active or inactive configuration and formed of a retractable hook and a corresponding stop. The hook retains the stop, in the active configuration, and maintains a slider, with respect to a base, in an armed position in which the contacts are placed in a spaced configuration, by retractors (61). A bistable slider (6) is returned elastically, in the inactive configuration, by springs (R) to a rest position in which the retractors are disengaged from the contacts and permit the contacts to adopt a locked configuration.
