Electrical receptacle locking system

An electrical receptacle configured to be removably attached to a housing of a power distribution unit, the electrical receptacle comprising:

• an inner core extended from a base surface and comprising an outer surface configured to mate with an electrical connector type;
• an outer wall positioned around the inner core, wherein the outer wall comprising an inner surface configured to receive a connector type, the outer wall comprising first and second ends;
• a locking mechanism comprising:
• a locking catch arm extending between the first and second ends above a flange that at least partially surrounds the outer wall and configured to pivot about a common axis of the first and second ends and engage with a shoulder of an electrical plug when connected to the inner core;
• a first spring arm pivotably connected to the common axis and extended from the locking catch arm to the common axis along the outer surface of the first end;
• and
• a second spring arm pivotably connected to the common axis and extended from the locking catch arm to the common axis along the outer surface of the second end;
• wherein the flange comprises a rear portion with a break between a forward portion, the first and second spring arms each extended through the break between the rear and forward portions of the flange.

An electrical receptacle configured to be removably attached to a housing of a power distribution unit, the electrical receptacle comprising:

• a base surface;
• a plurality of cores extended from the base surface and comprising an outer surface configured to mate with an electrical connector type;
• an isolation wall extended upwards and away from the base surface between adjacent cores of the plurality of cores;
• an outer wall positioned around the plurality of cores, the outer wall comprising an inner surface configured to receive an electrical connector type, the outer wall comprising first and second ends;
• and
• a locking mechanism extended between the first and second ends, the locking mechanism comprising a locking catch arm configured to pivot about a common axis of the first and second ends and engage with a shoulder of an electrical plug when connected to at least one core of the plurality of cores.
