Abstract
A device for conducting electrostatic potentials to a protection ground is disclosed. The device includes an electrically conductive center section mounted on a substrate mounting device, with the center section electrically connected to the protection ground. First and second electrically conductive bands extend from opposite sides of the center section. During the installation of a cirucit substrate to the substrate mounting device an associated band is arranged to contact a metalized edge of the circuit substrate providing an electrical path for discharging electrostatic potentials from the circuit substrate to the protection ground.
