ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for retaining a circuit board in a connected position is constituted with at least a first retention arm and a first clip that cooperate with each other and with a first edge of the circuit board to securely retain the first edge. The first retention arm includes a first end that is geometrically shaped to allow the first clip to slide onto the first end and slide towards the first edge. The first edge and the first clip further include first complementary engagement features for the first clip to engage the first edge when the first slip slide up against the first edge. Furthermore, the first end includes a deflectable stop lever that can be depressed to allow the first clip to slide over it, and then be released to snugly engage a first notch of the first clip to keep the first clip from sliding back off the first end.
