Abstract
A swivelling electrical connector includes a plug having an axially aligned contact and pair of tandemly spaced circumferential contacts. The plug registers with a socket structure disposed within the housing of an appliance which has complementary spring loaded contacts. One of the tandem contacts on the plug, preferably the one nearest the end of the housing, is a ground contact.
