A sparkless socket including a socket, a sensing module, a controller, a switching module, a pressing stick and a mechanical switch is provided. The sensing module includes an emitter and a receiver. The receiver receives an infrared light emitted by the emitter through a light guide element module and holes on slots of the socket and generates a sensing result accordingly. The pressing stick is pressed by a plug if the plug is plugged into the socket. The mechanical switch is controlled by the pressing stick to generate a first signal. The switching module is controlled by the controller to transmit an AC power provided by a city power system from the controller to the socket. The controller determines whether the plug is plugged into the socket according to the sensing result and the first signal and thereby enables or disables the switching module.
