The invention relates to a socket-outlet. A body (3) of insulating material is formed with mounting brackets (2) for fixing the body (3) to a supporting structure. Metallic terminal units (4) include first connectors (4.1) fitting for contact with the prongs of electric plugs and second connectors (4.2) intended for contact with electric wires. A housing component (1) constitutes a cover or enclosure which conceals an internal component (5) of the socket-outlet. The socket-outlet's internal component (5) comprises at least the body (3) and the terminal units (4). The first connectors (4.1) are shaped as two-way funnels for receiving the prongs of electric plugs from two opposite directions, whereby the relevant terminal unit (4) can be used both in surface-mount and concealed socket-outlets. In addition, the socket-outlet comprises an upper earth terminal unit (9) and a lower earth terminal unit (10) present at an end wall of the body (3). The mounting brackets (2) are provided with rupture weaknesses (2.2), which are positioned in such a way that, as the mounting brackets rupture, the live components remain protected. |
