Sliding shutter for socket capable of preventing an erroneous insertion

A socket comprising:

• a housing;
• a shutter comprising:
• a base comprising:
• a first positioning member extending upwardly from a bottom surface within the base;
• a first slider comprising:
• a first slider body having a first guide surface and a second guide surface, the first guide surface corresponding to a live wire jack of the socket, the second guide surface corresponding to a neutral wire jack of the socket;
• and
• a support shaft extending from opposite sides of the first slider body, movably and rotatably coupling the first slider body to the base;
• and
• a resilient member configured to resiliently couple the first slider to the first positioning member such that the first guide surface and the second guide surface are in positions respectively blocking a first sleeve of the socket and a second sleeve of the socket;
• wherein the first slider body is adapted to rotate around the support shaft when only a single insert acts on one of the first guide surface and the second guide surface such that the first slider cooperates with a stopper in the socket to block the single insert from contacting the first sleeve or second sleeve of the socket, wherein the shutter is mounted to the housing;
• and
• a body portion coupled to the shutter, wherein the first sleeve and the second sleeve are provided in the body portion.
