ABSTRACT:
A ground clamp for clamping to a cable shield to provide a ground connection employs a yoke member having a U-shaped yoke section, a rigid ground section and a strain relief section. The yoke member is molded as an integral unit, eliminating all machining/stamping operations from its manufacture. A relatively inexpensive zinc alloy is used in the manufacture of the yoke member, eliminating the use of relatively expensive bronze and copper. A keeper has a driver which threadably engages thread surfaces at the interior side of the yoke legs. The keeper has a clamp jaw which may be compressively engaged against a cable shield received in an aperture defined by the yoke. Electrical tape, tie-wraps, or similar devices mechanically connect the strain relief section of the yoke member to the cable outer jacket to relieve strain on the cable conductive sheath.
