Abstract
This invention is a connecting device for earth grounding aircraft and aerospace equipment. The connector assembly has two parts, an upper and lower. The upper part of the connector provides a receptacle to secure an aerospace chassis ground wire. An internal magnet holds the upper part to the lower part. The lower part is secured in the ground and is flush with the surrounding surface. It is subterraneously connected to a ground rod. Upon disconnection and removal of the upper part, the lower part stays in place and provides a smooth and unencumbered surface.
