ABSTRACT:
A device 10 for holding an electrical connector 50 to a circuit board, the device 10 including a one-piece essentially planar metal member 12 with a pair of diverging cantilevered first beams 20 extending outwardly in a first direction from one body edge 14 and a pair of diverging cantilevered second beams 30 extending outwardly in a second direction from the other edge 14 of the body 12. Each of the pair of second beams 30 includes a wall engaging portion 40 at the leading ends thereof and a board holding portion 36 intermediate the wall engaging portion 40 and the body 12. The pair of first beams 20 are compressible toward one another and are adapted to be received in a cavity 58 of the electrical connector housing 52 and define a holding section for the connector 50. The pair of second beams 30 are being compressible toward one another and are adapted to be received in and cooperate with a corresponding retention aperture 84 of circuit board 80. The wall engaging surfaces 36 bear against aperture surfaces 86 to hold the connector 50 to the board 80.
