Abstract

The device has a lower contact protection part (2) formed on the rear of the socket insert (1) in which a spring-loaded sliding protective element (3) is inserted that closes plug pin insertion openings and only frees the openings for simultaneous engagement of both plug pins. A flat spring (4) acts as a restoring spring for the sliding element and is arranged movably between the inner wall of the lower protection part and the sliding element.
