Abstract
An electrical outlet receptacle receives conductor wires without crimping. A receptacle body of electrical insulating material has a face with a number of cantilever portions and projections extending from one side of the face. Cooperating cam surfaces are formed on the cantilever portions and projections, as well as locking surfaces, to receive conductor wire bare portions. The conductor wire bare portions are mounted so that they are directly tangentially engaged by an electrical plug prong when a prong is inserted into a prong-receiving slot in the receptacle body face.
