A fastener for a connector in an electrical coupling including a threaded bolt, a keeper member and a biasing member. The keeper member having a base and a distal member spaced apart from each other and a collapsible portion coupling the base and the distal member to each other in electrical communication. The second end of the threaded bolt extends to the base and is in electrical communication therewith. The distal member has a conductor contact surface. The biasing member includes an inner washer, an outer washer, and a Belleville washer positioned therebetween. The biasing member is insertable between the base and the distal member so that the inner washer is positioned between the base and the Belleville washer and the outer washer is positioned between the Belleville washer and the distal member. The collapsible portion provides an electrical shunt around the biasing member.
