ABSTRACT:
A ground connector for a jacketed, interlocked armored cable includes a body portion, a resilient grommet, a frictional washer and a compression nut. A longitudinally split metallic grounding ring is also provided. A first end of the grounding ring is seated in a bore formed interiorly of the body portion. The opposite second end of the grounding ring is provided with a plurality of fingers as well as generally U-shaped connecting sections for joining the fingers to the second end of the cylindrical wall of the grounding ring. The connecting sections and the fingers are both deflectable upon assembly of the connector. The fingers, which are initially at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the connector, point in the same direction as the direction of cable assembly. The free ends of the fingers act like barbs to thereby minimize retraction of the cable.
