ABSTRACT:
An electrically conductive clip is disclosed herein which provides an electrical path between the metal components of transmission line insulators. The clip is a U-shaped, resilient, electrically-conductive member having two arms which form an inner passage way. The clip has at least one sharp contact finger extending in a first direction on one side of the central plane of the member and at least two protrusions extending in a second direction on the other side of this central plane. At least one of the protrusions has a sharp extremity of sufficient hardness to penetrate corrosive and insulative formations which form on the metallic components. The presence of the clip reduces radio and television interference caused by electrical arcing.
