Abstract
An electrical receptacle with a receptacle body, at least one friction pad within the receptacle body between two plug prongs when the electrical plug is coupled with the electrical receptacle, a cam within the receptacle body and having a cam body with an oval-shaped cross section configured to force the friction pad towards a plug prong while a cam lever is in an engaged position, and release the force when the cam lever is in a disengaged position. An actuator is exposed on a surface of the receptacle body and operatively coupled to the cam lever to manually rotate the cam lever to the engaged position. When the cam lever is in the engaged position and the electrical plug is coupled with the electrical receptacle, a withdrawal force required to remove the electrical plug from the electrical receptacle is greater than when the cam lever is in the disengaged position.
