Fehlerstromschutzschalter-Steckdose, deren Strompfad zur Steckdose durch einen Fehlerstromschutzschalter (4) gesichert ist und deren Bauteile an einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse (1) angeordnet sind. Es ist vorgesehen, daß das Gehäuse (1) zumindest in einer Seitenwand ein als Steckdosenabdeckung ausgebildetes Einsatzteil (2) formschlüssig aufnimmt, dessen Frontfläche zur Seitenwand schräg gestellt ist, daß das Einsatzteil mit einer in das Gehäuse formschlüssig einsetzbaren, den Geräteraum für Steckdosensockel (3) und Fehlerstromschutzschalter (4) abschließenden Abdeckung (5) formschlüssig verbunden ist, und daß benachbart zum Geräteraum die Gehäusewand als Rand (6) vorgezogen ist und mit Haltenasen (7) und Steckkontaktaufnahmen einen Kabelstauraum (10) bildet. 1. Plug socket arrangement with which the supply lines to the one or more than one plug socket are protected by a fault current protective circuit breaker (4) fitted in the same housing with the one or more than one plug socket, wherein the housing (1) receives an insert (2) in at least one side wall, in form-locking manner like a tongue and groove, this insert constructed as a plug socket cover, with the front surface inclined at an angle to the mounting face of the arrangement, and wherein chambers are formed in the housing by intermediate walls, characterised in that - the housing (1) has substantially the form of a cube, the side of which normally facing the mounting face of the plug socket arrangement is constructed as an open projecting edge (6) and forms a storage space (10) for a connecting cable, - in that in the housing (1), seen from the above-mentioned mounting face, a cover (5) lies over the storage space (10), this cover being arranged with an attachment on the insert (2) interlocking in form-locking manner like a kind of groove (17) and tongue (18), so that the cover (5) and the insert (2) receiving the plug socket (3) and the fault current protective circuit breaker (4) separate the apparatus space of the housing, which lies on top, from the storage space (10), - in that there is formed on the cover (5) a dividing wall (13) between the fault current protective circuit breaker (4) and the plug socket (3), - in that for the purpose of servicing, the fault current protective circuit breaker (4) is accessible from the storage space (10) by means of a hinged cover (15) arranged in the cover (5), - and in that the sides of the walls of the housing (1) facing the fault current protective circuit breaker (4), of the dividing wall (13) and/or the cover (5) are so adapted to the dimensions of the fault current protective circuit breaker that it is flexibly held in a press fit.
