A ring laser angular rate sensor getter mounting clip is configured so that the susceptibility of the mounting clip to radio frequency (RF) energy used to activate the getter is minimized. The clip is configured so that opposing RF current flow is induced which prevents heating of the clip beyond force relieving temperatures for the clip material, whereby the clip maintains its retaining force within a getter well via three contact surfaces to more stably retain the getter in its proper position within the well.

In a ring laser angular rate sensor, a getter mounting clip, comprising: a pair of substantially S-shaped sides disposed in opposing spaced relation, said sides having corresponding inwardly curved ends and opposite corresponding outwardly curved ends; the corresponding inwardly curved ends formed as a continuous section of the mounting clip for providing a first contact surface; the corresponding outwardly curved ends providing second and third contact surfaces; the mounting clip disposed within a ring laser angular rate sensor well, with the first, second and third contact surfaces exerting a retaining force against the well; a getter affixed to the mounting clip; and the configuration of the mounting clip being effective for inducing opposing RF currents when the getter is activated by an RF source, whereby heating of said mounting clip beyond retaining force relieving temperatures is inhibited.
