A saddle clamp (20) which incorporates internal electrical bonding elements adapted to maintain electrical contact with a clamped tube structure without transferring structural load between the tube and the electrical bonding components. The saddle clamp (20) includes an inner tube contacting surface having at least one surface groove (40). At least one electrical contact element (50) extends between portions of the inner tube contacting surface. The electrical contact element includes a tube contact segment (52) disposed in opposing relation to a portion of the surface groove. The electrical contact element (50) is electrically connected to the mounting bracket (12), to transmit electrical charge from the tube, via a proximal portion (58) of the electrical contact element (50) which extends through a window opening (44) of the saddle clamp (20). |
