ABSTRACT:
A ground lug comprising a collar which defines a receptacle for receiving a ground wire. A machine screw is threadably positionable in an aperture in the collar upper surface to engage a clamping plate and clamp a ground wire positioned between the collar and the clamping plate lower surface. The clamping plate has first, second, and third segments. The first segment has an aperture for bolting the ground lug to a ground point. The second segment has an axially extending tang and defines a first transverse shoulder. The third segment has a first end portion having axially extending tabs defining a second transverse shoulder. The third segment is inserted in the collar receptacle wherein the first shoulder engages the collar first end and the collar first end is received between the third segment and the tang. Rotating the clamping plate causes the second shoulder to engage the collar second end. The clamping plate may be further secured in place by crimping the tab towards the collar.
