Abstract (en)

The present invention provides a wall-mounted electrical component that has a box (12) that can be mounted within a wall recess (14) and a cover (10). Electrical cables are connected to terminals (26) within the box rather than to terminals within the cover. In order to provide an electrical connection to the cover (10), the cover includes terminals (46) that, when the cover is fitted onto the box, contact the terminals (26) in the box so that an electrical current or signal can pass between the cover and the box. The component may be a socket (as shown) or a switch.
