Abstract
An electrical outlet device includes a base casing; a cover covering the base casing; a grounding conductive assembled including a base frame formed with at least a first clamping portion having a pair of elastic pieces, a second clamping portion having a pair of elastic pieces, and a third clamping portion having a pair of elastic pieces thereon; and a first contact conductive assembly and a second contact conductive assembly, each including a rib-like clamping portion composed of a pair of elastic pieces and a screen elastic piece. In this electrical outlet device, the elastic pieces of the first and third clamping portions of the grounding conductive assembly each have a top edge formed with a notch; and the elastic pieces of the rib-like clamping portion on the first and second contact conductive assemblies each has a top edge formed with a notch, the screen elastic piece being bent away from the rib-like clamping portion.
