A safety electrical plug (30) has two-part prongs (34, 36). Each prong has a distal portion (42) that is electrically insulated and a proximal portion (40) that is conductive. Substantially full insertion of the plug (30) into a receptacle (10) is required to establish an electrical connection between the prongs (34, 36) and the receptacle contacts (24). This limits the chance of electric shocking by human or animal engagement of the exposed portions of the prongs subsequent to only partial insertion of the plug into the receptacle, and signals the partially-inserted condition when subsequent attempts to operate an electrical appliance connected to the plug fails. The conductive prong portions (40, 44, 52a, 54a, 62a, 64a, 72a, 74a, 82a, 84a, 86a) may be inserts in a nonconductive base (42, 46, 52, 54, 62, 64, 72, 74, 82, 84, 86), or be the entire proximal portions, which may optionally mount a strip of non~conductive material along their edges.

Une fiche électrique de sécurité (30) possède des pointes en deux parties (34, 36). Chaque pointe comporte une partie distale (42) qui est isolée électriquement et une partie proximale (40) qui est conductrice. Substantiellement, une insertion complète de la fiche (30) dans une embase (10) est requise pour établir une connexion électrique entre les pointes (34, 36) et les contacts (24) de l~embase. Ceci limite les risques d~électrocution par engagement humain ou animal des parties exposées des pointes suite à une insertion seulement partielle de la fiche dans l~embase et signale l~état partiellement inséré lorsque des tentatives postérieures de faire fonctionner un appareil électrique connecté à la fiche échoue. Les parties conductrices de pointe (40, 44, 52a, 54a, 62a, 64a, 72a, 74a, 82a, 84a, 86a) peuvent être insérées dans une base non conductrice (42, 46, 52, 54, 62, 64, 72, 74, 82, 84, 86) ou être les parties proximales complètes qui peuvent en option comporter une bande de matériau non conducteur le long de leurs arêtes.
