ABSTRACT:
An assembly for mounting a plurality of electrical components having terminals with leads onto a surface of a printed circuit board is disclosed. The assembly includes a substantially planar configured electrically insulated body member having top to bottom surfaces. Cavities extend through the body member and are dimensioned for receiving an electrical component and holding the component laterally by the walls defining the cavity. An elastomer element with conductive portions is positioned adjacent to the bottom surface of the cavities and receives the leads of electrical components. A lid is connected to the body member and movable from an open position for allowing insertion and removal of electrical components to and from the cavities, and a closed position where the lid covers the cavities. The lid includes plungers for pressing without excessive force the leads of the electrical components against the elastomeric connector(s) and into contact with the wiring pattern on a printed circuit board positioned adjacent the bottom surface of the body when the lid is in its closed position.
