ABSTRACT:
A clip (10) is composed of two halves (12). Each half (12) has a main plate (14) from which a left side wall (16) and a right side wall (18) extend vertically at two opposite side edges. Each side wall (16, 18) incorporates a corresponding auxiliary wall (26, 28), which is extending vertically from the main plate (14) approximate a central slot (20) in the main plate (14), to form a cavity (22, 24) therein. A rear wall (30) extending from the rear edge of the main plate vertically, has two generally semi-circular openings (32, 34) therein in alignment with such two cavities (22, 24), respectively. A stopper (36) is formed generally in alignment with the auxiliary wall (28) which is facing to the right wall (18). A catch (42) and a latch (38) are respectively on the right and the left walls (18, 16). Accordingly, the clip (10) can be itself formed as one piece by interconnection of two halves (12), and also can securely associate with the corresponding connectors (50) therein so that such connectors (50) can be properly aligned with the complementary connectors.
