The invention is directed to a modular electrical outlet including a housing; a pair of plug-in connectors carried by and disposed at opposing ends of the housing; and a conductor disposed within the housing. Each of the connectors includes a plurality of terminal receiving openings. The conductor includes a pair of blade receiving sockets, with a longitudinal axis extending between the blade receiving sockets. The conductor includes a pair of terminals at opposing ends thereof, with each terminal being offset from the longitudinal axis. The conductor may be selectively positioned in the housing at one of two reversible positions. To wit, the conductor may be selectively disposed within the housing in a first position such that each terminal is received within an associated terminal receiving opening of a respective connector, and a second position such that each terminal is received within an associated terminal receiving opening of the other respective connector.
