Abstract
An electrical connector comprising a plug, a socket, and a switching mechanism. The plug includes a plurality of outwardly extending blades defining parallel blade axes, and the socket defines a plurality of receptacles for receiving the blades. The socket has two longitudinally spaced positions for forming two different electrically conductive circuits with the plug. The switching mechanism is provided for moving the socket along the blades axes away from the first socket position, then along the longitudinal axis of the plug, and then back along the blade axes toward and into the second socket position.
