ABSTRACT:
Eyelets are described that project through holes in the legs of a connector and through plated holes of a circuit board, to hold the connector to the board until they can be soldered together. When the eyelet is fully installed, a cap 56 (FIG. 3) at its top rests against a leg 30 of a plastic connector body, while a tubular portion of the eyelet projects through the leg 40 of a metal connector shell and into the plated hole 20 of the circuit board. The tubular portion of the eyelet has upwardly extending tines 66 that each has a contact part 78 (FIG. 8) lying a distance below the cap equal to the combined thickness T (FIG. 3) of the connector body and shell legs, so the contact part lies adjacent to the shell leg 40 to solder to it. The diameter of the shell hole 46 is smaller than the diameter of the circuit board hole.
