A double male electrical connector (10) is provided to connect the female en d of a string of Christmas lights (50) with the female end of an extension cor d suitable for plugging into a wall outlet. The inventive connector is particularly useful when Christmas lights are wrapped from the wrong directi on so that after wrapping the lights the female end is loose. The connector includes a conventional conductive cord with a first end and a second end. T he first end has a first male plug (14) and the second end has a second male pl ug (16). Each male plug has a first lead and a second lead for plugging into a two-prong receptacle. In accordance with the invention there is no third grounding lead. In an alternative embodiment the connector forms a safety ca p (110, 112) on at least one of the male plugs for safety, i.e., when the connector is not in use. In the preferred embodiment the apparatus includes a jacket (82) receiving the connector for axially slidable use so that both ma le plugs cannot both be simultaneously exposed.
