The electrical accessory () includes an electrically insulating body () housing at least two electrical connection elements (), and a temperature sensor (). The temperature sensor is received in a thermally conductive and electrically insulating support element () that is distinct from the body, and that is fitted inside the body in such a manner as to extend between the electrical connection elements, being set back from the outside faces of the body.

Electrical apparatus comprising a temperature sensor housed in a support element

A socket outlet (A;B;C;D) presenting given intrinsic characteristics so as to be suitable for delivering continuously, and without being damaged, an electrical signal that presents a determined maximum current, includes identification elements (A;B;C;D) that are adapted to communicate or to co-operate with an electric plug (A;B;C;D) so as to generate a pilot signal that is representative of the maximum current of the electrical signal that can be delivered by the socket outlet without being damaged. An electric plug and an electrical assembly are also described.

Electrical outlet provided with identification means, and associated electrical plug and electrical assembly

An electric plug () adapted to be plugged into a socket outlet () delivering an electrical signal having at least one characteristic adapted to vary in a determined range of values and including identification elements arranged to communicate or to co-operate with the electric plug to generate a pilot signal representative of the electrical signal delivered by the socket outlet, includes: reader elements () adapted to receive the pilot signal issued by the identification elements, and to supply the pilot signal to the electric plug; and verification elements () adapted to detect a spurious signal not issued by the identification elements (), and to block forwarding of the pilot signal when such a spurious signal is detected, or to forward an alert signal to the electric plug when such a signal is detected. An electrical assembly including such an electric plug and a socket outlet are also described.
