Claim Text:
1. A socket having an overheating destructive limiting element, comprising: a housing, including at least one live wire hole and at least one neutral wire hole; a live wire conductive plate; a neutral wire conductive plate; at least one live wire terminal, including a live wire insertion portion and a live wire contact portion, the live wire insertion portion corresponding to the live wire hole and disposed in the housing, the live wire contact portion being in contact with the live wire conductive plate; at least one neutral wire terminal, including a neutral wire insertion portion and a neutral wire contact portion, the neutral wire insertion portion corresponding to the neutral wire hole and disposed in the housing, the neutral wire contact portion being in contact with the neutral wire conductive plate; and at least one limiting element, being an insulating body, disposed at contact parts of the live wire conductive plate and the live wire contact portion, and/or at contact parts of the neutral wire conductive plate and the neutral wire contact portion; wherein, the limiting element becomes deformed and destructed under a thermal deformation temperature, such that the live wire contact portion disengages from the live wire conductive plate via a predetermined elastic force, and/or the neutral wire contact portion disengages from the neutral wire conductive plate via the predetermined elastic force.
