ABSTRACT:
An electrical device includes a housing having an open end for receiving an electrical component, the housing including an inwardly extending flange located in proximity to the open end and the flange having surface area facing into the housing and away from the open end, anchoring structure adapted for positioning between the electrical component and the open end, the anchoring structure including a hub and at least two arms extending radially outwardly from the hub, the arms including radially extending ends having an effective distance therebetween which is larger than the size of the open end of the housing, and an abutment for abutting the hub against the electrical component, the arms being adapted for concave resilient deflection thereof into the housing for creating a biasing force against the electrical component and for reducing the effective distance between the radially extending ends for permitting installation of the anchoring structure into the open end and past the flange for engaging the radially extending ends against the surface area to maintain the deflection of the arms and thus the biasing force on the electrical component.
