Abstract

An electrical conductivity connector comprises a conductive plate (11) for connection to a metal enclosure (1) of multi-panel (3, 4) form, a plurality of leads (13), each lead being permanently secured at one end (13a) thereof to the conductive member, the opposite end (13b) of each lead carrying a captive nut assembly (20) for electrically connecting the conductive member (11) to a respective panel (3, 4) or frame member of the enclosure. Each captive nut assembly (20) comprises a nut (23) provided with an integral axial extension (29) of reduced lateral dimensions compared with the diameter of the nut, the axial extension extending through a hole (28) in a connector tag (24') and being captively connected at the free end thereof to a washer (25) positioned on the opposite side of the tag from the nut.
