ABSTRACT:
A backplate, or network circuit card assembly having a backplate is provided having an elongated section with one or more stem sections extending therefrom in a first direction. Each stem section includes heads that extend in a second direction. The heads may be positioned from an unbiased position to a biased position, where the biased position brings the heads into sufficient proximity with one another to allow the combined heads to pass through a hole of the printed circuit card. Once through, the heads are released to secure the printed circuit card with the stem section. The heads may also provide a surface that contacts a grounding plane of the printed circuit card.
