A clipping device includes a clip including a capsule and a pair of clip arms movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. A tension member includes a distal portion and a proximal portion, a pair of protrusions extending from opposing surfaces of the proximal portion to be received within openings extending through proximal ends of the clip arms, the proximal portion including a relief to define a pair of fingers separated from one another at proximal ends thereof. A yoke including a central portion including a recess formed at a distal end thereof, the recess sized and shaped to releasably receive the pair of fingers of the tension member, the pair of fingers configured to flex toward one another when a predetermined force is exerted thereon to release the pair of fingers from the recess and disengage the tension member from the yoke during deployment of the clip.
