Abstract
A ground clip apparatus is designed to make ground contact between two circuit boards as they are mated together. A standoff member is mounted on one of the boards and a spring clip member is mounted on the other board facing the standoff member. The spring clip member has spring arms which are biased against the standoff member when the boards are mated together to make a reliable ground contact. At the same time, the standoff member resists deflection of either board towards the other board.
