Abstract
A socket with a plug locking mechanism has a socket body having an opening formed in a specified position. Plural receptacles for supplying electric power are exposed at their top face from the opening of the socket body and are electrically and mechanically connected with plural terminals projectively formed on the top end of a plug. Plural projecting parts are integrally formed with the same material as the socket body as keeping a specified interval between them on both sides of the opening. Each of the plural projecting parts has at least one hole. A spring has a locking part formed to be engaged with the rear part of the plug in its middle part, and is set in the plural projecting parts so as to be freely turned by inserting each end part thereof into each of the holes which are formed in each of the plural projecting parts.
