ABSTRACT:
An electrical outlet receptacle includes a thermoplastic cover and a thermoset base between which are captively mounted line and neutral contact/terminal assemblies and a grounding strap assembly in enhanced electrically isolated relation. The grounding strap assembly is equipped with quadruple wipe grounding contacts positioned to make wiping contact with a ground pin of an inserted plug before the plug blades can contact jaws of the contact/terminal assemblies. Formations molded in the cover underside provide guidance for and promote alignment of the insertions of the plug blades and pin. Tapered pockets molded in the cover underside are positioned to controllably engage the ends of BWPI terminated line and neutral wires.
