ABSTRACT:
A device for fixing an electric connector to a mother board is disclosed. The device includes a mounting flange integrally formed at a bottom corner of the electric connector, a nut having a hexagonal head portion and a neck portion, and a bolt. The mounting flange defines a nut receiving hole having a hexagonal hole portion and forms a locking tooth extending into the nut receiving hole. When the nut is pressed into the nut receiving hole to reach a position in which the hexagonal head portion fits the hexagonal hole portion, the nut is fixedly locked in position by the locking tooth engaging with the neck portion of the nut. The bolt extends from a bottom through the mother board to threadedly engage with the nut fixedly received in the nut receiving hole to firmly fix the connector to the mother board.
