Abstract

The insulating body of an electrical plug has a lid (1) turnably mounted on a plug base (2) for movement between open and closed positions. The plug pins (4) include a terminal end (5) protected within the body which defines a wire trap with a second terminal end (6) movable with the lid (1). The body exhibits passage means (7) for each wire leading to the respective terminal end, each passage means (7) being adapted to receive wire only when fed in endwise, the lid (1) being mounted on the plug base (2) for turning movements about an axis (x) parallel to the axes of the pins (4), whereby on endwise insertion of wires into the respective passages (7) with the lid (1) in the open position, the end of each wire is located between the terminal ends (5, 6) of the respective wire trap, and the wire traps close around the wires as the lid is moved into its closed position to effect wiring up of the plug.
