Electrical connector with shearable fastener

An electrical connector comprising:

• a connector body including at least one bore for receiving an electrical conductor, the connector body including at least one opening in communication with the bore;
• and
• a fastener coupled to the opening of the connector body, the fastener including,
• a first portion adapted to engage an opening of the connector body, and
• a second portion including a head, a base coupled to the first portion, and a shearable section positioned between the head and the base, the base including an end adapted to engage the electrical conductor.

A method of connecting an electrical conductor to a connector body, the method comprising:

• co-rotating a first portion and a second portion of a fastener to insert the first portion into an opening of the connector body, until an upper end of the first portion is substantially flush with an outer surface of the connector body;
• further inserting the second portion relative to the first portion until a base end of the second portion engages the electrical connector;
• and
• shearing a head of the second portion from a base of the second portion along a predetermined shear section.
