According to the China National Intellectual Property Administration, Schneider Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. has been granted a utility model patent titled “Socket and Plug Insert” (Patent Publication No. CN224177610U), with the application filed in April 2025.
The patent discloses an innovative socket and plug insert design. The plug insert comprises:
a main body;
a clamping section, connected to the main body and featuring two clamping springs arranged opposite each other in a first direction;
a positioning section, also connected to the main body, comprising two positioning plates arranged opposite each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
The clamping springs and positioning plates together form a clamping space that securely holds the plug pins. This design provides enhanced stability, effectively preventing the plug from loosening during use.
This patented solution addresses a common challenge in electrical connectors by improving reliability and safety in industrial and consumer applications. By combining directional clamping and positioning, Schneider Electric ensures a firm and secure connection, even under vibration or prolonged use.
