Herein is described a n electrical earthing device formed from a sheet of material and comprising: an earthing device connector portion, for connection of the earthing device to a component to be earthed; and an earth cable connector portion, for connection to an earth cable. A first part of the earth cable connector portion is disposed in relation to a second part of the earth cable connector portion so as to define a clamping mechanism. In use, an earth cable positioned between the first and second parts is retained in position and maintained in electrical contact with the clamping mechanism by resilient biasing between the first and second parts of the clamping mechanism.

An arrangement for electrical contacting of a current connector (3) with a circuit arrangement (1) is provided. The current connector (3) includes at least one contact spring wire (5, 6) with an end contact (5a, 6a), which is configured for spring-loading, and the circuit arrangement (1) includes at least one contact point. The end contact (5a, 6a) and the contact point each form a spring pressure contact, and the end contact (5a, 6a) of the contact spring wire (5, 6) is configured as a bracket with an outer contact surface and at least one cutting edge arranged proximate the contact surface, which is engaged with the contact point.

A crimping terminal includes a conductor crimping portion, the conductor crimping portion including: a bottom plate on which a conductor of an electric wire is disposed; and a pair of conductor tightening pieces extending from both side edges of the bottom plate, the conductor crimping portion configured to be crimped and connected to the conductor by tightening the conductor in a state where the conductor is covered with the conductor tightening pieces. The conductor crimping portion includes a serration extending in a groove shape across the pair of conductor tightening pieces and the bottom plate in a direction intersecting an extending direction of the conductor to be disposed on the bottom plate, and a width of an opening of the serration is equal to or larger than a width of a bottom surface of the serration.

A meter box ground clamp may include a body portion having a first portion, a second portion, and a gripping portion that is configured to extend from the second portion and a fastener member configured to couple the body portion to an electrical meter box. The fastening member may be configured to extend through a receiving portion of the first portion to engage a first surface of the meter box so as to move the first portion away from the first surface of the meter box and move the gripping portion into engagement with a second surface of the meter box that faces away from the first surface of the meter box, and the receiving portion may be configured to receive the fastener member at a first angle less than 90 degrees relative to a plane of the first portion such that a free end of the fastener member forms a second angle greater than zero degrees relative to the second surface of the meter box. The second angle may be configured to create a force that urges the second portion of the body portion toward the meter box in response to a tightening torque applied to the fastener member so as to prevent the body portion from moving off the meter box in response to the tightening torque.

A bonding washer for making electrical connection between two metal pieces that are to be mechanically fastened together. The washer, to be interposed between the two metal pieces, may be constructed so as to fasten to one of the pieces before the two pieces are joined. Teeth on the washer, positioned at right angles to the plane of the washer, are forced into each of the two metal pieces when the fastener is tightened, making electrical connection between the two metal pieces.
