Abstract
A cable shield grounding clamp connector includes an outer plate for seating upon the insulating jacket of a shielded electrical cable and an inner plate for interposition between the inner core of insulated conductors of the cable and the shield of the cable, the outer plate being curved to conform to the outer diameter of the cable and the inner plate being resiliently deflectable relative to the outer plate so as to be urged toward conformance with the curvature of the outer plate upon clamping of the jacket and the shield between the outer plate and the inner plate, the inner plate having sharp-edged teeth arranged in longitudinal rows along laterally opposite edges of the inner plate for scraping away a corrosion-inhibiting coating on the shield in response to deflection of the inner plate to expose the shield for direct electrical contact between the inner plate and the shield.
