Grounding Clip For Electrical Components

摘要

Grounding clips for electrical components are disclosed to eliminate or significantly reduce ESD and EMI. A grounding clip includes a first leg disposed with respect to a second leg, and hook members that extend outwardly from an edge of at least the first leg to form an electromagnetic gasket with respect to a front panel and grounding clip. The grounding clips also have mounting tabs for connecting the first and second legs to a PCB, and resilient flanges formed in the legs and angled inwardly toward toward one another.

主权项

1. A grounding clip comprising:
at least two legs whereby each leg has one end for coupling with the other leg and a second end for mounting on a printed circuit board to create a ground connection, the two legs being coupled such that the second end each of the two legs are displaced from each other to accommodate a component disposed between the two legs; and plural hook members that extend from an edge of at least one of the legs to contact a surface adjacent to the printed circuit board to facilitate the ground connection and reduce electrostatic discharge introduced via the surface.
