Claim:
An electrical receptacle and box apparatus comprising: a.) a stud-mounted junction box with an opening defined by an upper side, a lower side, a left side, a right side, and a rear side, and stud attaching screw shoulders on the left or right side and accessible through said opening for mounting the junction box to a stud, having wire apertures on the rear side in proximity to the upper side and lower side for receiving electrical wiring without wrapping the wiring around screws; b.) a slide-in receptacle received in the junction box opening; c.) an electrical connection between the junction box and slide-in receptacle including rearward extending elongated prongs and terminals with slot apertures to allow the slide-in receptacle to move in and out of the junction box to compensate for variations in thickness of a wall attached to a stud and to allow for vertical adjustment.
