Grounding clamp

摘要

A clamping apparatus includes a base, a vertical support member coupled to the base, and a head member coupled to the vertical support member. The head member is configured to receive and engage a portion of a coaxial cable. Additionally, the base is configured to engage through a through hole or slot arranged through a substrate and provide electrical communication between a portion of the coaxial cable and the substrate.

主权项

1. A grounding system for a personal electronic device, the grounding system comprising:
a printed circuit board (PCB) defining a hole, the PCB comprising a conductive pad coupled to an outer peripheral surface of the PCB; a clamping apparatus, comprising:
a head member comprising an inside surface that substantially surrounds and is electrically coupled with a portion of a coaxial cable, anda base member, comprising:
a first end integrally formed with the head member and extending through the hole defined by the PCB, anda second end that defines an opening in cooperation with an outside surface of the head member; and an amorphous metal that closes the second end opening and is in direct contact with the conductive pad of the PCB so that the coaxial cable is electrically coupled with the conductive pad by way of the clamping apparatus and the amorphous metal.
