ABSTRACT:
A U-shaped ground clip and I/O pins are attached to a connector or header of a printed circuit board. The clip has leads which extend into the circuit board for connection to a ground plane and a spring portion which is biased against a metal case to afford a ground connection. The header securely positions the clip during soldering to assure a proper final configuration and to add stiffness to the clip to insure adequate force against the case.
