ABSTRACT:
A duplex receptacle has a housing base with insulating wall elements to which an insulating circuit board supporting a surge supressor circuit is fit. The surge suppressor can be preassembled and located as a compact unit in the housing with connective connections to each of the power conductors and ground. The device also has an insulated ground feature with each ground contact extending into housing base projections which have openings accommodating an insolated ground strap to which the internal ground contacts are joined. The features of the invention are well suited for shallow receptacles as may be fit within outlet boxes of a depth of no more than about 11/2 inches.
