IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO ELECTRICAL SOCKETS

摘要

The present invention relates to a socket box. The socket box includes a base, a socket insert, a facia insert and an internal electrically conductive substrate. The socket insert comprises a body having an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the upper surface is provided with a plurality of apertures which are sized and spaced so as to receive the pins of an electrical plug, and wherein further the lower surface is provided with a plurality of sprung electrical contacts. The socket insert and electrically conductive substrate are supported and held in spaced relationship to one another by the facia insert such that the sprung electrical contacts are compressed against the electrically conductive substrate, and wherein further the facia insert in turn is supported by the base.
