ABSTRACT:
An electrical ground connection having two members which are clamped together with each member having a cavity which faces the cavity of the other member when assembled. In one embodiment the cavities include a series of sharp projections and a disk of relatively soft metal such as copper is inserted into one of the cavities and when the members are brought together, the projections from both members penetrate into the disk to form a low impedance electrical connection which may be disassembled and reassembled with relative ease. An O-ring seal and a waterproof gel within the cavities may be utilized for underwater applications of the connector. In another embodiment a single projection in each cavity is used, in conjunction with a disk having a central aperture which fits over the projections, with edge portions of the projections digging into the central wall surface of the apertured disk.
