Default brass or copper on recepticals

Ralph Mowery posted for all of us...



I noticed that instead of the old paper or plastic keepers on the duplex
recepticals now one end has a brass or copper item to keep the screw with it
on one end.

What is the reson for that ?


They are listed as self grounding outlets. No need to run a jumper to a
metal box.
