ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An electrical connector device for connecting a plurality of electrical fixtures to a wall outlet includes a dimmer device for manually varying the current supplied to appliances connected thereto. The invention discloses in com- bination, an electrical connector device having a first housing of electrically insulative material having a plurality of spaced pairs of spaced parallel slots formed therethrough for accommoda- ting the electrically conductive prongs of a plurality of electri- cal connector plugs inserted in the slots, electrically conduc- tive terminals at all the slots in the housing for electrically contacting the prongs of electrical connector plugs inserted in the slots, and a pair of electrically conductive primary prongs extending through one of the pair of slots with parts thereof inside the housing and parts thereof outside the housing; an additional housing; dimmer means comprising a pair of spaced parallel dimmer slots extending into the first housing, a pair of electrically conductive jackets in the dimmer slots, an independent manually variable electrical resistance unit in the additional housing and a pair of electrically conductive dimmer prongs insertable in the dimmer slots and electrically connected to the variable electrical resistance unit and extending from said additional housing, said additional housing having a manual dial outside the housing and coupled to the independent manually variable electrical resistance in the additional housing via a bore through the housing; and circuit means having electrical conductors in the first housing electrically connecting the ter- minals of all the slots, the prongs and the electrically conduc- tive jackets of the dimmer means in circuit in a manner whereby when said primary prongs are placed in electrical contact with a source of electrical energy, current supplied by the source of electrical energy is suppled to all of said terminals via said dimmer means whereby the current supplied to said terminals is manually variable via said dimmer means.
