WITH PROVISION TO ISOLATE CIRCUITRY BY SEVERANCE OF BRIDGINGELEMENT:
(under the class definition) Electrical connector including a conductive component adapted to be torn or cut away therefrom to separate a portion of conductive material from electrical cooperation within the device.
(1) Note. Included herein is a "duplex receptacle" having bridging structure such that the upper and lower outlets are in the same electrical circuit, wherein the bridging structure is adapted to be broken or severed to allow each of the outlets to be part of different electrical circuit. A "duplex receptacle" is known as such in the building trade.

166+, for an electrical connector convertible by internal change to selectively cooperate with a different contact.
176, for a female coupling part convertible to a male coupling part by addition of prong.
177, for a coupling part convertible to a distinct shape by addition of a nonremovable element or by removal of a nonreusable element.
217+, for a device having several types of connectors available without modification of the device, but structurally limited so that if one type is used, use of another will be prevented. 518, for a coupling part convertible to a different format by substitution of a different contact.
