An electrical connector is configured to couple an electrical conductor to a support surface of an electrical device. The electrical connector includes a terminal block having a connecting aperture and a threaded aperture. The connecting aperture is configured to receive the electrical conductor. The electrical connector includes a locking fastener having threads to be receivable within the threaded aperture. The locking fastener is configured to move in a first rotational direction to secure the electrical conductor against movement relative to the terminal block. The locking fastener is configured to move in a second rotational direction to release the electrical conductor from the terminal block. The electrical connector includes a lock engaging the locking fastener in a locked position to inhibit movement of the locking fastener in the second direction. The lock disengages the locking fastener in an unlocked position to permit movement of the locking fastener in the second direction.
