ABSTRACT:
A grounding clip (130, 132) is provided which mounts on a rear end cap (60) of a PC card, and which connects a rear connector shell (44) of the PC card to a top 5 sheet metal cover portion (90). The clip has a pair of top spring fingers (140, 142) that lie in recesses (150) in the top surface of the top flange (62) of the rear end cap, and has a bottom finger (144) lying against the lower surface of the top flange and against a tine (104) formed in the shell of the rear connector. The clip lies close to an extreme side (124,126) of the PC card, to remain engaged with the top cover portion despite bending of the cover rear portion that results in its middle (126) being raised above its opposite sides.
