Abstract: A safety receptacle includes a hot terminal and a neutral terminal disposed above two slots on a front cover and separated by a division plate, which is made from an elastic insulating material having two symmetrical bevel side walls, each of which being terminated into an outward root wall for separating each terminal from its slot. Inserting the blades of a plug into the slots causes the outward root walls to be squeezed inwardly for permitting the blades to be electrically connected to the terminals.
