Open back box with ground screw bump

A method for grounding an electrical device in an electrical device housing, the method comprising:

• securing a ground wire to an electrical device housing by:
• wrapping a ground wire around a ground screw;
• inserting the ground screw in a hole formed in a protrusion that extends forward from a back wall of the housing into the interior space of the housing;
• and
• tightening the ground screw to secure the ground wire;
• and
• securing an electrical device to the housing;
• and
• electrically connecting the electrical device to the ground wire.

An electrical assembly, comprising:

• a housing including:
• a plurality of walls defining an interior space, the plurality of walls including at least one side wall and a back wall orthogonal to the at least one side wall;
• wherein the back wall includes an opening configured to allow access to the interior space of the housing through a rear side of the back wall;
• and
• a protrusion extending forward from the back wall into the interior space of the housing, the protrusion including:
• a mounting surface offset from the back wall in a direction toward the interior space of the housing;
• and
• a hole formed in the mounting surface;
• a ground wire secured to the housing by a ground screw inserted through the hole in the mounting surface of the protrusion in the housing;
• and
• an electrical device mounted in the interior space of the housing and electrically connected to the ground wire.
