An electrical outlet strip comprises a casing having a plurality of special snap-in outlet receptacles disposed in openings in one wall of the casing. The outlet receptacles have specially slotted hot, neutral and ground terminals disposed within the casing in a preselected arrangement such that during assembly of the strip bus wires can be rapidly connected between the corresponding terminals of the receptacles by placing the bus wires in the slots and subsequently crimping the terminals and/or soldering the bus wires to the terminals.

Electrical outlet strip

A cased electrical component such as an electrical outlet strip includes a case having laterally projecting ears each provided with an aperture. Mounting brackets, adapted to be temporarily attached to a mounting surface, are fixed to the case at locations such that they obstruct the apertures in the ears thereby preventing the case from being permanently mounted to the mounting surface by fasteners passing through the apertures in the ears.
