Abstract
A coaxial cable connector includes a bonding block lug for receiving a grounding wire. The connector includes a body portion for receiving the end of a cable, a nut for securing the connector to a mating coaxial port, a post extending within the body portion for extending into the cable, a lug secured to the body portion and having a first hole for receiving the grounding wire, and a clamp element for clamping the grounding wire within the lug. The lug may include a second hole that intersects the first hole. The clamp element may be a set screw, press-fit pin, or the like extending within the second hole for selectively engaging the grounding wire. The set screw may incorporate security features to prevent removal of the grounding wire. The bonding block lug can be incorporated within a variety of connectors, including axially-compressed connectors.
