The present invention provides an improved electrical junction box (10) wherein the electrical wires from a building's electrical system are terminated by connection to a set of terminal strips (28) and lugs in a secure area of the junction box housing (12) rather than direclty on an electrical receptacle device that is mounted on and connected to the junction box housing (12). In accordance with the instant invention, an improved electrical junction box (10) provides at least one set of plug-and-play electrical terminals (38) into which electrical receptacle devices plug directly, without any need for additional hard wiring, stripping, pig tailing, or the like. In a preferred embodiment of the instant invention, all electrical wires terminate in a secure, non-confined area of the junction box, thereby reducing the hazard of electrical shock as well as the risk of electrical fire. |
