Abstract
A socket includes an outer housing having two parallel outer side walls, and an inner housing defining a front opening and having two parallel inner side walls, each of which has a first section that is received securely in the outer housing and that confronts a respective one of the outer side walls, and a second section that projects outwardly from the outer housing. The first section of one of the inner side walls cooperates with a respective one of the outer side walls to define a gap therebetween. A cover member has a mounting portion that is inserted into the gap, and a door portion that is turnably connected to the mounting portion so as to be turnable relative to the mounting portion between a closed position, in which, the door portion covers the front opening, and an opening position, in which, the door portion turns away from the front opening.
