The grounding clip is secured to a mounting surface of a mounting flange of the connector and has a spring contact arm extending into a cavity of the connector to both engage a ground electrode of the planar capacitor and secure the grounding clip to the connector. An adaptor clip is also provided to be secured, if desired, to the mounting flange and the grounding clip for providing grounding if it is desired to mount the rearward end of the connector of the panel.
