A method of preventing vibration loosening of a clamping screw 26 of a circuit protection apparatus 10 is provided. The circuit protection apparatus 10 has a conductor receiving member 28 including a conductor receiving opening 40 for receiving an electrical conductor 46 therein. The conductor receiving member 28 has an aperture 42 extending from a surface 50 thereof into communication with the conductor receiving opening 40. An overall extent of the aperture 42 includes threads. The method provides a clamping screw 26 having a threaded shaft 50. The threaded shaft 50 has a surface feature 52 in the threads thereof near an end 54 of the shaft. The clamping screw 26 is inserted into the threaded aperture 42 until the surface feature 52 is in interference engagement with threads of the threaded aperture to hold the clamping screw in the threaded aperture, with the end 54 of the shaft being disposed to permit access to the conductor receiving opening 40 such that the clamping screw need not be backed-out from the threaded aperture to provide access to the conductor receiving opening 40.
