A quick-connect plug and socket for mechanically and electrically attaching an electrical fixture. The plug has a spindle insertable into a bore of the socket to mechanically engage the plug and socket. An electrical connection forms between ring-shaped conductors on the plug that insert into ring-shaped openings in the socket to engage contacts within the socket. The plug body includes an extension extending from a side of the body to the spindle. The extension has a channel and slot, through which an electrical cord with wires inserts without threading the cord through the extension. The cord turns away from the extension to lie in a channel in the body and extend to a periphery of the body, to then connect to electrical terminals of the body. A removable cover covers the cord in the channel, the terminals, and the portion of wire that passes from the periphery to the terminals.
