The invention relates to a socket safety system, intended for overheating protection of the power plug terminals and for increasing the force at the contact level, using a system consisting of two springs that ensure a firm contact. The invention consists of a solution that is actuated by nitinol springs in response to the increase in temperature, leading to their compression, ensuring an increase in force, and therefore a firmly contact with the coupling terminals.
