A torque-limited fastener is for an electrical connector including an electrically conductive body having at least one fastener-receiving passageway intersecting a cable-receiving passageway. The torque-limited fastener may include a body being externally threaded to be received within the fastener-receiving passageway and having a tool-receiving passageway therein. A break-away head may be initially coupled to the body for breaking away therefrom at a torque limit upon tightening of the fastener. The break-away head may have a tool-receiving passageway therethrough aligned with the tool-receiving passageway of the body and accommodating a commonly-sized tool therein. At least one tool stop may extend inwardly in the tool-receiving passageway of the break-away head to restrict insertion of the commonly-sized tool for tightening to a torque limit, and being removed upon breaking away of the break-away head thereby permitting insertion of the commonly-sized tool into the tool-receiving passageway of the body to facilitate removal thereof.
