Abstract
A panel-mounted duplex electrical receptacle easily is ganged with another receptacle to form a power terminal strip of any desired length. Each receptacle is mounted with a snap action in a cutout formed in a panel. The receptacles are wired together by inserting a bare conductor into aligned channels formed in the receptacles. Resilient tongues are provided on contact strips provided within the receptacles for pressing the inserted conductor into electromechanical contact with the respective contact strip. A resilient tab on each receptacle lockingly retains the inserted conductor in each channel. Each contact strip is cut from a substantially planar preform in a scrapless manner.
