ABSTRACT:
An electrical receptacle comprises duplex receptacle for the receipt of conventional two and three wire electrical plugs. The electrical contacts are formed from a single strip of preferably highly conductive metallic material configured to selectively receive the conventional current carrying and the ground conductors of a conventional multiconductor non-metallic sheathed electrical cable. Each of the contacts is selectively formed to provide a U-shaped portion selectively slotted to provide highly effective insulation severing and conductor engaging independently deflectable finger portions designed to provide a rapid, secure, and permanent connection to the respective cable conductors. The contacts are further provided with flattened looped portions arranged to resiliently engage the contacts of an electrical plug inserted within the receptacle.
