发明名称 Receptacle assembly
摘要 A receptacle assembly for multi-wire, multi-circuit power distribution systems for modular wall panels has a body, at least one outlet formed in the body, at least one input plug formed in the body, the input plug have a plurality of openings therein, and three conductors, one line conductor, one neutral conductor, and one ground conductor. The conductors extend from the outlet to the input plug. At least one of the three conductors terminates in a plurality of terminals positioned adjacent a respective plurality of input plug openings. A circuit selector clip engages one of these terminals so that the conductor is connected to one of a plurality of input circuits of the power distribution system. A first end of the clip has a female terminal that matingly engages one of a plurality of male terminals formed on a conductor that allows selective connection. Dimples may be formed on the first end to assure secure engagement with the male terminals. A second end of the clip has at least one pair of laterally opposed, biased fingers that are sprung toward one another to form a gap that slidingly and conductively receives therein a male terminal of an input circuit. Ends of the fingers may outwardly curve opposite one another and opposite the direction of bias of the fingers.
