Abstract: An electrical connector particularly adapted for connecting the free end of a conductor to a grounded rod. The connector comprises an elongated electrically conductive body having first and second opposite ends connected by a longitudinal axis. A first axial recess in the first end extends along the longitudinal axis partially through the body. A transverse recess extends through the body communicating with the first axial recess. The conductor free end is placed in the transverse recess. The lower end of a plug is placed in the first axial recess and fits snugly in the first axial recess with the lower end contacting and compressing the conductor end extending into the transverse recess. The lower end of the body contains a similar recess for receiving the upper end of a grounding rod.
