More Information
Summary:An electrical receptacle is provided having electrical connection screws with a shaft, a drive head and an intermediate head. The shaft has a threaded end that is suitable to be selectably turned into the receptacle until electrical wires are pressed between the receptacle and the intermediate head. The drive head is opposite the threaded end of the shaft. A seat is provided between the drive head and intermediate head. A cover is provided having prongs that engage the screws in the seats. The width of the seats provides a lateral tolerance to engagement of the prong and screw. The prongs can be flared at their ends to engage the seat and the prong bodies are held in contact against the seat to provide a secure electrical connection. Electronics can be embedded within the cover so that it glows or shines.
