Abstract
Grounding clips for electrical components are disclosed to eliminate or significantly reduce ESD and EMI. A grounding clip includes a first leg oppositely disposed with respect to a second leg and connected to the second leg by a third leg, mounting tabs for connecting the first and second legs to a PCB, a resilient upper flange formed in the third leg and angled with respect to the third leg inwardly toward the first mounting tab and the second mounting tab (e.g., for compression fit with respect to an SFP mounting cage), resilient flanges formed in the first and second legs and angled to extend inwardly toward one another. A hook member extends outwardly from an edge of the first leg to form an electromagnetic gasket with respect to a front panel and grounding clip.
