ABSTRACT A grounding clip provides a grounding path between a receptacle and mounting screw affixing the receptacle to a grounded mounting box. The grounding clip of spring steel has a screw-receiving means that receives a mounting screw. The edges. of one side of the clip has sharp teeth which extend slightly outwardly. This side of the clip is between the tab on the mounting or junction box and the tab on the ground yoke of the receptacle. When the clip is assembled to the yoke and the yoke is mounted to the box with the mounting screw, the teeth on the clip bite into the tab on the yoke and flatten out laterally, thereby scraping any oxide off the yoke and insuring a good electrical contact between the ground yoke on the receptacle and the junction box.
