Abstract

An electrical connector (10) adapted to be mounted below a surface (12A) of a substrate (12). The connector comprises a first part 18 having a power output (26,27), which first part is movable between an extended position and a retracted position. In its extended position at least part of the first part (18) extends beyond the surface of the substrate (12) so that it can supply electrical current to an electrical device to be connected thereto, whereas in its retracted position the first part (18) is stowed below the surface (12A) of the substrate. The electrical connector may also comprise a switch adapted to enable electrical current to pass to the power output (26,27), only when said first part (18) is in its extended position.
