20A / 125V W/ CLMP RECP (Product Description)

A 20-amp, 125-volt receptacle with clamp-style wire terminals, designed for safe and secure electrical connections in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications.

Product Description

This is a standard 20A, 125V straight-blade receptacle (outlet) equipped with clamp-type (back-wire or pressure clamp) terminals. The “W/CLMP.RECP” indicates that the device uses a clamp mechanism to securely grip the conductor wire, instead of or in addition to traditional side-screw terminals.

The clamp design helps ensure a tight, consistent electrical connection, reducing the risk of loose wiring and improving long-term reliability.

It is commonly used in 120V branch circuits for general-purpose power distribution.
