ABSTRACT:
An assembly for mounting an electric/electronic device (300) to a printed circuit board (PCB) (310) of an electronic system. The printed circuit board (310) is provided with first and second openings (311 and 312, respectively). The assembly includes a connector (320) mounted on a first side of the PCB (310) and the device (300) mounted on a second side of the PCB (310), the device (300) including a bushing (302) which extends through the first opening (311) and is fastened to the connector (320) by a nut (330). Male leads (304) of the device (300) are each plugged into a female terminal opening (324) of the connector (320) through the second opening (312). The connector (320) also includes leads having first ends located in the female terminal (323) for contacting the male device leads (304), and second ends which are soldered to conductive traces formed on the PCB (310) for providing connections between the PCB (310) and the device (300). Nut (330) is used to fasten bushing (302) to connector (320). In alternative embodiments, spring clips (430, 530, or 630) or latches (726, 727, 826, or 827) are used to fasten the bushing to the connector.
