Claim:
Electrical socket for alternatively creating an electrical plug-in connection with a first plug ( 1 ) that has on one plug-in end multiple plug pins ( 2 ) and, surrounding these, a sleeve-shaped section ( 4 ), or with a second plug constructed in the form of a jack connector ( 7 ) and having a plug shaft ( 8 ) with a contact sleeve ( 9 ) and a contact tip ( 10 ), whereby the first plug ( 1 ) and the jack connector ( 7 ) can be inserted in a plug-in direction ( 14 ), the socket comprising a locking arm ( 22 ) with a locking protrusion ( 23 ) that, in the plugged-in state of the first plug ( 1 ), engages in the locking recession ( 6 ) in the plug housing ( 5 ) of the first plug ( 10 to lock in the first plug ( 1 ), an actuating unit ( 24 ) that, from a passive position, can be displaced in the plug-in direction ( 14 ) to an active position and in the active position engages with the locking arm ( 22 ) and keeps the locking protrusion ( 23 ) disengaged from the locking recession ( 6 ) of the first plug ( 1 ), and a locking device for the jack connector ( 7 ) that comprises a locking extension ( 370 that engages, in the plugged-in state of the jack connector ( 7 ), in the constriction ( 12 ) of the contact tip ( 10 ) of the jack connector ( 7 ), and a blocking part ( 38 ) that has a contact surface ( 39 ) which rests against an opposite contact surface ( 40 ) of the socket when the blocking part ( 38 ) is in a blocking position, whereby the locking extension ( 37 ) in the blocking position of the blocking part ( 38 ) is held by the blocking part ( 38 ) engaged with the constriction ( 12 ) of the contact tip ( 10 ) of the jack connector ( 7 ) and is blocked from being pushed out of the constriction ( 12 ), and which can be brought to disengage from the opposite contact surface ( 40 ) by a displacement in the plug-in direction ( 14 ) of at least one of the sections of the blocking part ( 38 ) adjoining the contact surface ( 39 ), whereby a pushing out of the locking extension ( 37 ) from the constriction ( 12 ) of the contact tip ( 10 ) of the jack connector ( 7 ) is enabled, whereby the actuation unit ( 24 ) in its displacement from its passive position to its active position displaces in the plug-in direction at least a section of the blocking part ( 38 ) adjoining the contact surface ( 39 ) and disengages the contact surface ( 39 ) of the blocking part ( 38 ) from the opposite contact surface ( 40 ).
