ABSTRACT:
A two-piece, push-on type grounding clip for grounding a conductor (e.g. the shield of a shielded line or cable) to a metallic wall has a first, U-shaped, resilient metal clamp having an open end adapted for engagement with the edge of a metallic wall. The closed end of the first clamp has a transverse groove for receiving the conductor (e.g. a shielded cable). The walls forming the transverse groove are shaped and/or sized to cut the cable insulation (if any) and to form a secure electrical contact with a cable conductor (e.g. the shield of the cable). A second U-shaped resilient clamp has an open end with a transverse groove for receiving both the closed end of the first clamp and the conductor (e.g. shielded cable). The second clamp prevents the cable from backing out of the transverse groove of the first clamp and also exerts additional pressure on the first clamp's engagement with the metallic wall.
