An electrically conductive hinge includes an electrically conductive first plate with a plurality of knuckles having openings. An electrically conductive second plate of the hinge also includes a plurality of knuckles having openings. The pluralities of knuckles are alternatively interlaced, and a hinge pin is inserted into the openings. One or more electrically conductive tabs are provided on the first hinge plate and frictionally engaged against one or more of the knuckles of the second hinge plate. Also, one or more electrically conductive tabs may be provided on the second hinge plate and frictionally engaged against one or more of the knuckles of the first hinge plate. The conductive tabs are resilient and provide good electrical conductivity between the first hinge plate and the second hinge plate. The hinge is particularly advantageous in grounding an electrically conductive cover to an electrical conductive housing.
