ABSTRACT:
A bracket (28) secures a header (12) to a PWB (22) and includes a face plate (32) having an opening (34) sized to receive a portion (33) of the header. The face plate, and header therewith, is secured to the PWB by mounting tabs (44) secured to and extending from the face plate. Each mounting tab is relatively thin and has its narrow-width peripheral edge portion (56) adjacent to the surface (24) of the PWB. The edge portion has an opening (54) sized to accept a rivet (62) to affix the bracket to the PWB. The edge portion contacts a ground pad (66) on the PWB to provide grounding of the PWB through the bracket. The bracket includes centering tabs (48) which engage the edges (62) of the chassis openings (10) to properly position the header in the opening.
