ABSTRACT:
An electrical receptacle is provided that does not require any soldered connections for the hot and neutral conductor wires, and in fact does not even require crimping. A receptacle body of electrical insulating material is formed in two parts with a pair of elongated prong-receiving slots in the body. A pair of conductor wires, each having a bare uninsulated portion, are each disposed in a groove intersecting each of the slots with the bare portion of the wire at the intersection between the slot and groove. The receptacle body parts are then moved into holding relationship with each other, with a portion of the body biasing the bare portions of the wires into intersecting relationship with the slots. The outlet assembly is held tightly to varying thicknesses of mounting surfaces through the action of a molded plastic spring(s). A ground conductor of similar or conventional design may be provided.
