ABSTRACT:
A board lock includes a base section fixed to an electrical device, such as a connector, and an elastically diameter-contractible barrel section extending from the base section beyond a face of the electrical device. The barrel has an external threading. The barrel has a section of nominal diameter substantially equal to or greater than an inner diameter of a hole defined in a circuit board whereby the barrel is elastically contractible to be inserted into the hole which generates a spring-back force driving the external threading to engage with the inner diameter thereby securing the electrical device to the substrate.
