ABSTRACT:
A telecommunications connector (10) includes a ground clip (15) which resiliently engages the rim (17a) of a grounding bus rail (12). Opposing fingers (25, 26) grip the rim (17a). A pivot finger (26) first grips the rim (17a), and then the connector (10) is rotated (28) onto the rim. Tangs (45) also engage the rim (17a), and the connector (10) and clip (15) are locked in position on the rail (12) by jaws (47). Entry wings (30, 41) assist in opening the fingers (25, 26) and a ground lead receiving pocket (35) on the dip (15).
