ABSTRACT:
An improved combination of a circuit board and mounted electrical device with means to indirectly secure the electrical device to the circuit board. A pin of the electrical device extends through an aperture in the circuit board. An electrically conductive connector overlies the circuit board and has an end portion configured to releasably grip the pin thus securing the electrical device to the circuit board. The connector also includes a tab extending through a second aperture in the circuit board adjacent an electrical pad thereon so that the tab may be soldered to the pad to both secure the connector and to provide electrical power to the pin through the connector.
