An electrical connector comprises a conductive bonding element 12, a conductive locking element 14, and a self-locking head 16. The head engages the first end portion 18 of the conductive bonding element and the first end portion 22 of the conductive locking element in conductive engagement, and in use receives and engages with the second end portion 24 of the conductive locking element. The locking element may loop round a first aircraft component, so that the connector connects it to another aircraft component. The second end of the bonding element may have an eyelet 28, or may have a similar locking arrangement to the first end. The self-locking head may contain a ball (52, Fig 3) which moves, or it may have ratchet teeth. It may also have a protection element 26, which may provide friction. The connector can be used for electrical bonding in aircraft.
