ABSTRACT:
The electrical bonding block with grounding lug includes a ground wire clamping chock which bears against the ground wire, clamping the ground wire between the chock and the ground wire passage. A ground wire clamp screw engages the chock to pull the chock tightly against the ground wire. This mechanism avoids direct point contact by the contact screw with the ground wire, thereby precluding the formation of nicks and stress risers in the ground wire and subsequent stress corrosion and/or fatigue failure of the ground wire. The device may be adapted to connect virtually any type of electrical conductors having separate ground elements, but is particularly well suited as a bonding block and ground lug for connecting two lengths of coaxial cable.
