ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes a modular electrical device for use in an electric circuit. The modular electrical device includes a wall plate defining a first opening, and a housing configured to be disposed within the first opening. The housing is configured to accommodate a frame member selected from the plurality of frame members. Each frame member is configured to accommodate at least one wiring assembly. The modular electrical device further includes an electrical wiring assembly chosen from a plurality of electrical wiring assemblies. Each of the plurality of electrical wiring assemblies has a different functional configuration, and each of the plurality of electrical wiring devices being sized to fit in the selected frame member. The modular electrical device further includes a set of terminal contacts selected from a plurality of sets of terminal contacts. Each set of terminal contacts is matched to accommodate one of the plurality of electrical wiring assemblies.
