ABSTRACT:
A cable harness system includes a cable having a number of individual conductors, and a connector to enable conductive coupling of the cable to a device. The connector includes an electrically conductive connector body configured for attachment to a chassis of the device. The cable harness system also includes a ground clip to facilitate an electrical ground path between one of the individual conductors and the chassis of the device. The ground clip includes a first portion configured for conductive coupling to the conductor, and a second portion configured for conductive contact with the connector body. The ground clip may be configured as a ground clip lug captured by a captive screw member compressively securing the ground clip lug against the connector body. The ground clip may also be a ground clip bracket configured for frictional engagement with the connector body.
