Mounting plate having faceplate grounding means

A wall-mountable load control device adapted to be coupled between an AC power source and an electrical load for controlling the power delivered to the load, the load control device comprising:

• a non-conductive yoke for mounting the load control device into a standard electrical wallbox, the yoke comprising at least one faceplate screw opening;
• and
• a metal conductor attached to the yoke, the metal conductor operable to be coupled to earth ground;
• wherein the faceplate screw opening overlaps a portion of the metal conductor such that the metal conductor is adapted to contact a faceplate screw when the faceplate screw is received through the faceplate screw opening.

An adapter plate system operable to couple a control device to an electrical wallbox and a faceplate, the adapter plate system comprising

• an adapter plate operable to be coupled to a control device and operable to be coupled to the electrical wallbox, the adapter plate comprising at least one faceplate screw opening;
• and
• a ground wire coupled to the adapter plate;
• wherein the ground wire is positioned relative to the faceplate screw opening such that a section of the ground wire partially overlaps the faceplate screw opening such that when a faceplate screw is received through the faceplate screw opening, the ground wire is adapted to contact the faceplate screw.
