Secure Locking Sockets

A socket, wherein the socket is made of:

• a housing, wherein the housing includes:
• one or more recesses that form a receptacle, wherein the recesses are able to each accept a prong from a plug,
• wherein the prong electrically contacts a conductor in the recess,
• wherein the prong is inserted between two extrusions in the conductor, wherein
• the conductors are connected to one or more wire conductors through a crimp or solder connections, wherein wire conductors make up a wire which exits the housing,
• a locking mechanism for each receptacle, wherein:
• the locking mechanism includes:
• an user operable latch extruding from a side of the housing,
• wherein:
• the latch is connected to a shaft, wherein
• the shaft operably rotates a cam, such that the cam pressures one or more pivoting locking tabs,
• the profile of the cam pressing on the locking tabs provide increased force on the locking tabs in the locked state and
• the locking mechanism is able to secure the plug in the receptacle from pulling forces on the socket and plug and wherein the locking mechanism is able to secure the plug in the receptacle in a locked state and allow the plug to be removed from the receptacle in an unlocked state.
