They are exactly the same. You just don't use the push in connector.
Use the screw terminals with crimp on ring terminals.

There are at least 4 grades of duplex receptacles.

1) The "strip and stuff" residential designed for solid wire.

You strip the wire then stuff it in the hole on the back of the receptacle.

Strictly a low cost residential device.

2) Light Commercial grade designed for either solid or stranded wire, a side
wired device.

3) "Spec Grade", heavy duty industrial, designed for either solid or
stranded wire. Can be back or side wired.

4) "Hospital Grade", same as spec grade except with better performance
characteristics for the most difficult of all receptacle applications, the
hospital.

Hospital grade devices have a green dot on the face.

None of these devices are designed to require terminals, but if used in a
side wired application, the terminal certainly should NOT be soldered to the
wire.
