Abstract
A safety adaptor for a male electrical connector housing having at least one male terminal is provided. A body member having a space therein of a configuration to receive the electrical connector housing while operatively supporting a cantilevering of the male terminal from the body member is utilized. A cover member can be flexibly linked to the body member for locking the safety adaptor to the electrical connector housing. A pair of parallel prongs can extend from the body member and can be positioned for limiting the size of a complementary female connector capable of operatively receiving the male terminal member.
