Abstract
A wedge of a cable connector grounding device includes a body. One side of the body is formed with a spirally conjunct seat inside which a concave spirally conjunct slot is formed. Two concave slots opposite to each other are formed. At the bottom of spirally conjunct slot, a position limiting groove is formed from the concave slots towards the center and a concave camber is formed along the circumferential wall toward the center. A wedge crest line is defined at a section of connection between the concave camber and the position limiting groove. A packing unit is provided and spirally connected to the spirally conjunct slot. The packing unit may be used to tighten the lead wire passing through the position limiting groove for achievement of the longitudinal position limiting. The wedge crest lines are used to wedge the lead wire transversally and tighten the lead wire.
