A cube tap adapter for converting a single three-conductor electrical service outlet into three service outlets. The adapter comprises a generally cubical, one-piece molded housing of insulating material. A first set of three parallel cavities or through bores is provided in the housing which extends from one surface to an opposite surface thereof. A second set of three through bores is provided in the housing, transverse to the first set, and which extends from a third surface, transverse to the first surface, and to an opposite surface of the housing. A first pair of line conductor blades are respectively received in a corresponding pair of the through bores of the first set. A second pair of conductor blades are similarly received in a pair of the through bores of the second set and are respectively connected to the first pair of blades in snap-in lock engagement therewith. First and second generally tubular ground conductor terminals are respectively received in the remaining through bores of the housing and engage one another by means of snap-in fasteners. The end portion of one of the ground conductor terminals extends away from the housing as does the end portions of the associated adjacent pair of conductor blades.
