An electrical mains plug having a body formed of an electrically insulating material is described. Two contact pins are arranged parallel to one another and which project out of the body at a first side thereof, and inside the body are connected or can be connected in each case to an electrical conductor which leads out or can be led out of the body at a second side thereof. The thermal bimetallic element is provided as a temperature sensor, said thermal bimetallic element being a constituent part of the thermal bimetallic switch which is associated with at least one of two contact pins. An electrical connection cable suitable therefor and an electrical device connected thereto are also described.
