Abstract:
An electrical connector is configured to couple an electrical conductor to a support surface of an electrical device. The electrical connector includes a terminal block having a connecting aperture and a threaded aperture. The connecting aperture is configured to receive the electrical conductor. The electrical connector also includes a fastener having threads receivable within the threaded aperture. The fastener is configured to move in a first rotational direction relative to the threaded aperture. The electrical connector further includes a lock configured to be positioned between the electrical conductor and the fastener to engage the electrical conductor and the fastener. Rotation of the fastener in the first rotational direction causes the lock to secure the electrical conductor against movement relative to the terminal block.
