The present invention relates to an apparatus to provide a secure connection bet ween the male plug and female receptacle on adjoining electrical cords which prevents the plug from separating from the receptacle by forcing the plug and the receptacle together. The apparatus comprises a pair of opposing body portions, each of said body portions having an interior and an exterior end. The body portions preferably co nsist of a pair of co-axial cones with generally flat opposing bases. A centrally dispose d longitudinal conduit is provided through said body portions and opens on said in terior and exterior ends of said body portions. Elastic means link said body portions s o that said body portions are biased towards each other when said elastic means is stre tched to separate the body portions. The elastic means preferably comprise a plurality of linking members attaching the interior ends of said body portions. The linking members a re preferably equi-spaced about the periphery of the interior ends of said body por tions wherein the generally flat opposing faces of said body portions are maintained i n contact with said male plug and female receptacle. The linking members are prefe rably integrally molded with the body portions. Means are provided to permit said elec trical cords to be inserted into the longitudinal conduits in said body portions such t hat the male plug and female receptacle are contained between the body portions to preve nt separation of the male plug and female receptacle. The means preferably consists of a longitudinal slit in said body portions.
