RE: Duster, your thoughts


Other than a small tab that extends from the thin galvanized steel backstrap between the mounting ears, it does look to be the same Pass & Seymour Spec Grade AC outlet available at Lowe's for $5.98.

Yes I noticed the tab between the ears as you did. I think the P&S outlet at Lowes is a older model. The tabs on back strap are for Decora outlets. The tab is drilled and 6/32 tapped to support the Decora cover plate

If you look close at the Synergistic Black UEF duplex receptacle you can see what appears to be the P&S logo in the upper left hand side just below the back strap ear of picture 2 of 3. On the other back strap support end you can see the words "Spec Grade". Also note both outlets use the same auto ground spring system for the 6/32 outlet support screws.

It is possible though the Synergistic Black UEF duplex receptacle uses a higher grade/quality P&S outlet. I would still be willing to bet the back strap is galvanized steel.
