Abstract

A male electrical connector having an insulating plug body and a cylindrical sleeve surrounding conductive prongs extending from the plug body. The sleeve has at least one aperture in a side wall thereof to removably receive a locking member. The removable locking member is preferably a padlock having a substantially U-shaped shackle extending through the aperture in the sleeve to prevent insertion of the male connector into the mating female connector.
