An electrical connector is secured to an elongated conductive element, and extends in a longitudinal direction between a first connection end and a second end from which the elongated conductive element extends. The electrical connector comprises a longitudinal passage in which the longitudinal conductive element partially extends up to the first connection end. The elongated conductive element is secured to the electrical connector at this first connection end.

Locking assemblies are provided for connecting to a stranded element. The locking assemblies include a housing with a receiving bore, locking bore, and aperture. The stranded element enters the housing through the receiving bore. A drive shaft can advance a locking element in the locking bore such that the locking element contacts the stranded element to apply a force to secure the stranded element to the locking assembly. Ends of the stranded element can be pushed by the locking element out of the housing through the aperture. The locking assemblies can be used for mechanical and/or electrical connections. Examples of stranded elements include electrical wires, mechanical stranded cables, rope, and other multi-strand materials.

A mechanical grounding clamp includes a body, having an upper plate defining a threaded hole therethrough and having an outer surface, a lower plate spaced apart from the upper plate and having an inner surface, and a connecting plate connecting the upper plate to the lower plate; a set screw mateable with the threaded hole in the upper plate and having a proximate end and a distal end, the distal end extendable through the threaded hole of the upper plate and toward the inner surface of the lower plate. Optionally there is a cap defining a set screw hole therethrough and having an inner surface, the cap affixable to the outer surface of the upper plate with the set screw passing through the set screw hole, and a nut securing the cap to the upper plate.

A grounding system, structured to ground a number of cables supported by a support assembly, includes a multi-function line assembly and a number of conductive mounting assemblies. Each conductive mounting assembly is structured to be coupled to the multi-function line and to a conductive pile.

A bonding lug assembly includes a bonding lug and a set screw. The bonding lug includes a body that defines a first channel and a second channel. The first channel defines a first conductor path extending in a first direction, and the second channel defines a second conductor path extending in a second direction that is different from the first direction. The set screw is configured to selectively engage the bonding lug and retain a bonding conductor within at least one of the first channel or the second channel.

The invention relates to a method for producing a nut which is rotationally connected to a flat part connecting section of a cable shoe, wherein the flat part connecting section has a passage opening, the nut has a sitting face which is at the bottom in the connected state, and a holder section extends on the nut from the sitting face further downward, wherein a tapered portion of the passage opening is formed by a holder material section which is preliminarily curved into the passage opening by deformation, and the holder material section is produced by a recess which is made in the flat part connecting section so as to surround the passage opening on a top side of the flat part connection section, which top side is associated with the sitting face. In order to specify a method of this kind which can be carried out in respect of production, in particular in respect of the production costs, in a favourable manner, it is proposed that the holder material section is first formed and the nut is placed onto the top side, wherein the holder section protrudes downward beyond a narrowest cross section of the passage opening which is formed by the holder material section, and that the holder section is then widened below the narrowest cross section, for the purpose of holding the nut on the cable shoe in a rotatable and interlocking manner. The invention further relates to a nut which is fitted in a rotatable manner on a flat part connecting section of a cable shoe.

An electrical connector assembly for a wellhead penetrator includes a first connector including an insertion body and defining a bore, the bore being configured to receive an electrical conductor. The insertion body includes a helical engaging member and defines a helical slot. The assembly includes a second connector defining a cavity therein, the cavity being configured to receive at least a portion of the insertion body therein, and the cavity being tapered such that advancing the insertion body into the cavity causes the helical engaging member to compress radially inwards into engagement with the electrical conductor.
