Abstract
A flexible grounding strip includes an electrically conductive strip having an elongated base, opposite sides of which extend to respective flanges spaced from the base. Each flange extends from one side of the base and terminates at an edge generally facing the opposed side of the base. The edges are spaced from each other. Each of the opposite sides have lengthwise spaced slots extending partly across the base towards the opposite side of the base. The slots extending from one side of the base are interleaved with slots extending from the opposite side of the base.
