Electrical device with mechanism to prevent separation of the electrical receptacle housing

An electrical device, comprising:

• a housing cover having a front surface and a first wall extending substantially perpendicular from said front surface;
• a housing backing coupled to said housing cover, said housing backing having a rear surface and first and second side surfaces extending substantially perpendicular from said rear surface, said first wall and said first and second side surfaces form an opening in said housing;
• a terminal accessible through said opening and being connected to an electrical device within said housing, said terminal having a base and first and second extensions extending substantially perpendicularly from said base, said first and second extensions being positioned adjacent said first and second side surfaces, respectively;
• a clamp adjacent said terminal for coupling an electrical wire to said electrical device, said clamp being prevented from contacting at least one of said first and second surfaces by at least one of said first and second extensions on said terminal.

A receptacle housing for an electrical device, comprising:

• a first portion having a front surface and a partition extending around the periphery of the front surface;
• a second portion having a rear surface and a first wall and a second wall, said second wall being along a same side of said second portion and spaced from said first wall, said first and second portions being coupled together and forming a cavity therebetween, said first wall, said second wall and said partition of said first portion forming an opening through said housing and into said cavity;
• a terminal in said cavity and accessible through said opening, said terminal having a base extending in a direction that is generally parallel to said first and second walls and having at least one wing extending away from said cavity transverse to said base;
• a substantially planar clamp coupled to said terminal using a screw that extends through said terminal and into said clamp, said clamp being positioned adjacent and proximal to said first and second walls;
• and
• a wire that extends between said clamp and said base of said terminal;
• wherein said clamp is coupled to said terminal by turning said screw and said clamp is substantially prevented from rotating with said screw relative to said terminal and said first and second walls by said at least one wing, thereby preventing the clamp from contacting at least one of said first and second walls.
