ABSTRACT:
A panel-grounding contact (10) includes a wire-connecting section (14) and a panel-connecting section (12) having a deep U-shaped channel (46) between walls (30,42,44) that include opposed pairs of teeth (50,58) extending toward the channel bottom (54) and staggered inwardly from the channel entrance (48), with the points of the teeth (50,58) adapted to scrape away corrosion layers of a conductive panel (70) during mounting of the grounding clip onto an edge thereof as well as to secure the contact (10) on the panel. The wire-connecting section (14) extends orthogonally with respect to the panel edge after mounting of the clip onto the panel.
