The securing members extend from the beam and are operable between an unsecured position in which the at least one resilient retention member of the beam is not placed in engagement with the at least one electrical component and a secured position in which the at least one resilient retention member of the beam is placed in engagement with and exerts a force on the at least one electrical component. Wherein when the securing member is in the secured position, the at least one resilient retention member of the beam maintains the at least one electrical component in electrical engagement with mating electrical components of the junction box.
