Abstract:
1. A gas turbine engine installation comprising: at least two flexible printed circuit board harnesses comprising electrically conductive tracks formed in a non-electrically conductive substrate arranged to transfer electrical signals around the engine installation; and at least one clip holding the at least two flexible printed circuit board harnesses, each clip comprising: a first jaw and a second jaw holding respective first and second ones of the at least two flexible printed circuit board harnesses, the first and second jaws each comprising a set of directly opposing, non-overlapping, compliant teeth, wherein the opposing teeth of both the first and second jaws are arranged to directly engage and thereby grip the non-electrically conductive substrate of the respective harness, and the teeth are separated from the electrically conductive tracks by the non-electrically conductive substrate, such that there is no electrical connection between the electrically conductive tracks and the teeth.
