Abstract
An electrical receptacle includes a first portion having a face with a plurality of openings and including a first set of protrusions and a first set of receptors, the first portion being configured to receive a plurality of electrical conductors, and a second mating portion including a second set of protrusions and a second set of receptors. The first set of receptors is configured to interact with the second set of protrusions and the first set of protrusions is configured to interact with the second set of receptors to snap lock the second mating portion to the first portion and form the electrical receptacle. Further, a method is provided for assembling and disassembling an electrical receptacle.

An electrical receptacle comprising:
- a first portion having a face with a plurality of openings and including a first set of protrusions and a first set of receptors, said first portion being configured to receive a plurality of electrical conductors;
- and
- a second mating portion including a second set of protrusions and a second set of receptors, said first set of receptors configured to interact with said second set of protrusions and said first set of protrusions configured to interact with said second set of receptors to snap lock said second mating portion to said first portion and form the electrical receptacle.
A method of assembling an electrical receptacle, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a first portion having a face with a plurality of openings and including a first set of protrusions and a first set of receptors;
- providing a second mating portion including a second set of protrusions and a second set of receptors;
- positioning at least one electrical conductor within said first portion;
- aligning said first set of protrusions with said second set of receptors and said second set of protrusions with said first set of receptors;
- and
- pressing said first portion against said second portion to snap lock said first portion with said second mating portion.
