A connector assembly for providing electrical connection from an electrical device ground wire to a vehicle chassis ground comprises a wire connector, a cable, and a surface connector. The wire connector is configured to receive the electrical device ground wire. The cable is electrically connected to the ground wire. The surface connector is coupled to the cable and configured to attach to a vehicle chassis. The surface connector includes a conductive disc, an outer insulating ring, and an inner insulating ring. The conductive disc is electrically connected to the cable and includes a central opening configured to receive a fastener which attaches the surface connector to the chassis. The inner insulating ring, a portion of the lower surface of the conductive disc, and the outer insulating ring form a hermetically sealed chamber with the chassis when the surface connector is attached to the chassis.
