An electrical wiring device, disclosed in the form of a duplex receptacle having the usual cover, body, terminals and mounting strap of the type extending longitudinally of the body rear surface and along the end surfaces. Two pairs of ribs are formed integrally with the body and extend in parallel relation longitudinally of the body rear surface with the strap lying between the two pairs of ribs. The purpose and effect of the ribs is to form a physical barrier of dielectric material and to lengthen the surface distance between the strap and portions of the hot and neutral wires terminated on the sides of the receptacle from which the insulation has been removed, thereby inhibiting electrical contact or arcing between the bare wires and the strap.

ispositif de câblage électrique, présenté sous forme de prise de courant double muni du couvercle usuel, du boîtier, de bornes et d'une bride de fixation du type qui s'étend longitudinalement de la surface arrière du boîtier et le long des surfaces des extrémités. Deux paires d'ailettes sont formées intégralement avec le boîtier et s'étendent en parallèle dans le sens de la longueur à la surface arrière du boîtier avec la bride qui repose entre les deux paires d'ailettes. Le but et le résultat des ailettes est de former une barrière physique de matériau diélectrique et d'allonger la distance de surface entre la bride et les parties de fils neutres et sous tension qui se terminent sur les côtés de la prise de courant de laquelle l'isolation a été enlevée, empêchant par conséquent le contact électrique ou l'amorce d'arc entre les fils nus et la bride de fixation.
