Abstract

An electrical socket (10) is provided which includes a faceplate with a pin receiving means for receiving pins of an electric plug. The pin receiving means (13, 14, 15) is shaped to receive a plurality of different types of electric plug. From one aspect, a voltage converter is provided that allows the electrical socket to operate at the correct voltage depending on the plug that is received. From another aspect, a mechanism is provided for an earthing connection to be made when an earthed electrical plug is received by the pin receiving means.
