<p>An electric plug (1) having a cover portion (2) and a base portion (3) is provided with pins (4). Each of the pins (4) is electrically connected to a separate terminal (5). The cover (2) is detachably secured to the base (3) by means of at least one screw (6) having a head portion (7) disposed in a recess (8) on the base (3). The head portion (7) is provided with a gripping portion (11) which can be gripped between a person"s thumb and forefinger such that the screw (6) can be rotated, thereby enabling the cover (2) to be detached or attached to the base (3). The plug is also provided with an inlet (12) for an electrical conductor (9) having a plurality of conducting cores (10), each of which may be received into one of the terminals (5), and secured therein by a resiliently loaded clamping means or a screw attachment.
