The present invention discloses a charging socket. The charging socket has a housing; a charging terminal installed in the housing; an electric adapter installed in the housing; and a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the charging terminal. The electric adapter has a body and a connection terminal provided in the body, and the connection terminal has an input end and an output end. The temperature sensor has a flexible lead, which is electrically connected to the input end of the connection terminal, so as to transmit the sensing signal of the temperature sensor to the output end of the connection terminal. In the present invention, the flexible lead of the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the connection terminal of the electric adapter in the charging socket without passing through the rear cover of the charging socket. Therefore, the installation of the temperature sensor and the structure of the charging socket are simplified, the assembly efficiency is improved, and the production cost is reduced.

The present disclosure provides an electrical plug including a first temperature detection element and a second temperature detection element. When the processor determines that the temperature of the contact pins is greater than or equal to a temperature threshold according to a first detection signal outputted by the first temperature detection element and a second detection signal outputted by the second temperature detection element, the processor disables the electrical plug to transmit the input power to a load. When one of the temperature detection elements fails, the electrical plug determines whether the temperature of the electrical plug is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold according to the other one of the temperature detection elements. The electrical plug meets the redundant design required for functional safety to avoid unexpected hazards caused by the failure of a single temperature detection element. Therefore, the stability of the electrical plug is enhanced.
