ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for releasably retaining electrical components has been invented. The apparatus has a support for assisting in bearing a cantilevered electrical component from a mounting plate of the electrical component. The support has a flange for receiving a load caused by the electrical component. The flange has an inner side, an outer side, at least one slot that communicates from the inner side of the flange to the outer side of the flange, and a plurality of nubs protruding from the inner side of the flange in proximity to each slot for retaining a key in an interference-fashion. The support can also have a leg attached to the flange for receiving the load from the flange and transferring the load to a case or some other ground. The leg can have a plurality of holes for receiving a screw for attaching the support to a case. The apparatus can include a key for passing through a mounting plate of an electrical component, past the outer side of the flange, and through the slot of the flange. The key can be for releasably engaging the nubs of the flange in an interference-fashion. The apparatus can also include a plurality of marks disposed on the leg for indicating regular intervals along the support, and a spacer with thickness for accommodating keys that are otherwise too long to cause an interference fit between: a key, the mounting plate of an electrical component, and the flange.
