Abstract

An electrical connector for facilitating disconnection from an electrical device by an operator includes an electrical cord and an electrical plug device attached to an end of the electrical cord and having a planar surface. The electrical plug device includes an electrical connector perpendicular to the planar surface of the electrical plug device and a disengagement member. The electrical cord is electrically connected to the electrical connector through the electrical plug device.
