ABSTRACT An electrical outlet receptacle device for mounting adjacent a wall member having a hole therein so that the device can be secured to an electrical outlet box mounted behind the wall member, the device has a receptacle body member for receiving and retaining electrical terminal/ contact assemblies to be terminated to the conductors of an electrical power cable and to electrically mate with the blades of an electrical connecting plug; a cover member adapted to be affixed to the body member, and having apertures formed therein for permitting insertion of the plug blades for mating with the terminal/contact assemblies and the cover member having a pair of mounting strap elements formed integrally therewith and projecting from opposite ends of the cover member; the mounting strap elements terminate in free end edges which are elongated to the maximum possible length to fit under a wallplate intended for use with the device, such that when the receptacle is mounted adjacent the wall opening, the probability that the mounting strap elements will abut the wall member is maximized so as to substantially reduce the chance of having a "floating" installation; the structure reduces fabrication and installation costs and breakages associated with prior structures.
