Abstract
The present invention relates to the technical field of plugs and sockets for electrical appliances. Disclosed are a surface contact plug and socket, comprising a matching plug and socket; a plug contact piece connected with a plug electric wire is arranged on the lower surface of the plug; and a socket contact piece connected with a socket electric wire is arranged on the upper surface of the socket; when the plug is inserted into the socket, the plug contact piece vertically or obliquely meets the socket contact piece to cause surface contact electrification. The surface contact plug and socket of the present invention employ surface contact between contact pieces, enlarge the contact area and improve current transmission capacity since the plug and socket are of the same size, and therefore the contact is always reliable, and the more the plug and the socket are used, the more reliable the contact is.
