ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for engaging electrical components to a circuit board. The body of the component has at least one fastener integrally formed therewith. The at least one fastener includes a neck portion engaged to the body of the component and extending to a hook portion. The fastener is configured to reside substantially within a through-hole formed in a circuit board. The through-hole in the circuit board has a solder lining, and the fastener is placed into the through-hole. The solder is reflowed via known soldering techniques so that the hook portion of the fastener is engaged by the reflowed solder, thus engaging the component to the circuit board.
