A device yoke comprising a mounting plate having at least two openings to accommodate at least two different types of electrical devices and a device box attached to the mounting plate. The device box includes at least a side wall and a bottom wall for separating the wires to be routed into the box from the wires not routed into the box. The multi-device yoke can be combined with a multiple device cover plate to form a multiple device mounting system. The multi-device yoke and multiple device mounting system could optionally include terminal lug means attached to the mounting plate to provide a grounding lug to meet other electrical standards.
