An electrical receptacle adapted to be recessed into a work surface, having a concealed compartment containing electrical ports for connection to a remote power supply and communications devices and an exposed compartment for connecting electrical cables to the ports. The ports are mounted on a partition plate isolating the exposed compartment from the concealed compartment, which is disposed at an oblique angle relative to the work surface to facilitate the connection and detachment of electrical cables and reduce clutter in the work space. The receptacle housing is preferably formed from components which are longitudinally linear, and are thus able to be extruded from aluminum and formed to interlock so that the housing can be assembled without welding. In the preferred embodiment the front portion is engaged to the rear portion along a slip-fit interlock and the partition plate is engaged between the front and rear portions in snap-fit relation. The cover plate is snap-fitted to the rear portion along a hinge disposed at an intermediate position on the cover plate, mounted in cantilevered relation with its rear edge abutting a stop surface disposed along an upper limit of the rear portion to maintain the cover plate flush with the work surface in the closed position.
