Abstract
A printed circuit card having a printed circuit board therein with ground contact pads. The printed circuit card is made of a conductive housing in which the printed circuit board resides. At least one ground contact clip is interfaced with both the ground contact pad on the printed circuit board and the conductive housing to complete a ground circuit for the printed circuit board and for protecting the connector against electromagnetic interference and electrostatic discharge. The ground clip further ensures that the printed circuit card has a high ground-to-signal ratio, thereby ensuring good data transmission through the card.
