Abstract

A crimp type cable shield bonding device for electrical connection to the shield of a sheathed and shielded cable having an outer insulating sheath and an underlying conducting shield which encloses a bundle of conductors. A U-shaped clip having opposed wings and a fastener for holding the wings together when crimped on the cable sheath and shield. A spring plate positioned between said wings overlying one of the wings and having a section bowed outward toward the other of the wings to provide a spring pressure engagement with the shield when the cable sheath and shield are crimped therein. A terminal on the spring plate positioned within a terminal on the clip for attaching to a ground conductor or the like. An integral tab carried on the clip for holding the clip in the crimped position.
