DEAD-FRONT ELECTRICAL WIRING DEVICE ATTACHABLE TO A POWER CORD ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Disclosed is an electrical wiring device attachable to a power cord, formed of two pieces, and having a dead-front supporting contact elements of the male or female type. One of the pieces comprises the dead- front and the contact elements that it supports, inte- grally hinged to a first sidewall member. The dead- front in an outwardly swung position exposes the con- tact element terminals in a manner to facilitate con- nection of the power cord conductors to the terminals. When the connection is made, the dead-front is swung inwardly to a position in which the conductor lies upon the first sidewa-l member. A second sidewall member or cover, forming the other piece, is then slidably inter- engaged with the inwardly swung dead-front responsive to movement of the cover into a position overlying the first sidewall member. When fully interengaged with the dead- front, the cover cooperates with the dead-front and with the first sidewall member in defining an insulated, fully enclosed housing within which the terminals are confined. The cover and the first sidewall member have cooperating strain-relief means between which the power cord is clamped. In the assembled relation of the two pieces, screws captive in the first sidewall member are thread- able into the cover to complete the assembly. The parts are in this way securely interlocked with the terminals completely enclosed in back of the dead-front of the device.
