An electrical outlet has a female member with at least two electrically conductive contact sleeves for the reception of the pins on a plug inserted in the female member and a connector arrangement for connection of the electrical outlet to a mains supply. The female member is movable relative to the connector arrangement between a first mode, in which the contact sleeves are electrically disconnected from the mains supply, and a second mode, in which contact sleeves are electrically connected to a mains supply. The connector arrangement include a connection ring and a mounting plate. The connector arrangement further include connection plates, whose number corresponds to the number of contact sleeves on the female member, wherein each contact sleeve is brought in or out of contact with a connection plate by movement of the female member.
