A grounding jack for mechanically and electrically securely coupling a device to be grounded to a ground conducting member includes a generally circular shaped grounding jack having a first end adapted to be inserted into a grounding jack receiver hole in the ground conducting member. The grounding jack receiver hole includes a first predetermined diameter. A second end of the ground conducting jack is adapted for receiving a ground coupling plug from a device to be grounded. A central bore region, into which the ground coupling plug is inserted, extends from the second end to proximate the first end, and is substantially surrounded by a grounding jack wall region. Also included is a ground conducting member engaging region which has a predetermined diameter larger than the predetermined diameter of the grounding jack receiver hole in the ground conducting member, and preferably includes a knurled outside surface, for mechanically and electrically securely engaging with a sidewall of the grounding jack receiver hole. The grounding jack further includes a cutout region forming a slot extending the length of the grounding jack, which allows the ground conducting member engaging region to be compressed in diameter and inserted into the smaller diameter grounding jack receiver hole in the ground conducting member, for providing constant tension for the ground conducting member engaging region against the sidewall portion of the grounding jack receiver hole.
