Electrical box with internal conductive elements

Abstract

The present invention is an electrical junction box assembly that may receive a variety of electrical devices such as switches, sockets, dimmers, and such. The junction box assembly includes an outer casing, wherein the wires of incoming and outgoing electrical cables are retained within the outer casing at a set orientation and position. The assembly further comprises an insert that is positionable within the outer casing. The insert contains a plurality of conductive elements arranged as panels. The conductive panels are insulated from one another and have a plurality of ports present on both sides, or that pass through, that allow wires to make contact with a conductive panel. The ports on the side proximal to the wires of the incoming and outgoing electrical cables provide a means to establish an electrical connection between the wiring of these cables with a particular conductive panel. The ports on the side proximal to an electrical device provide a means to establish an electrical connection between the electrical device with a particular conductive panel. Each of the plurality of ports contains a mechanism to ensure an electrical connection between the conductive panel and whatever wiring has been inserted into the port as well as to secure the wiring within the port to resist accidental removal of the wiring.
