ABSTRACT:
A principal aspect of the disclosure concerns housing means for an electrical receptacle comprising front and rear sections which are retained in assembled relation by snap fit coupling of terminal ends of post members on one section with edges of wall portions on the other section. The housing is disclosed in the context of a receptacle having ground fault circuit interrupting capability. Other disclosed features include snap-fit connection means for other components of a ground fault receptacle, a wiring board having solid state components of a ground fault circuit mounted on one surface and electro-mechanical components on the other, and a ground fault receptacle having both screw-type and push wire terminations. The foregoing features are made possible by a unique design and arrangement of parts which facilitates automated assembly of the entire receptacle.
