ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly (12, 17) including means (17) for securing the connector assembly to a printed circuit board (11). The electrical connector housing (12) has an eyelet (17) disposed in an aperture (12b) in a mounting flange (12c) in an interference fit. The eyelet (17) has a flange (21) engaging the mounting flange (12c) of the housing (12), an inverted conical end (18b; 30b) remote from the flange (21) and a generally tubular shank (20, 23; 32, 30) extending therebetween. A first section (20) of the shank provides the interference fit with the aperture (12b). A second section (23) of the shank extends below the mounting flange for disposition within an aperture (11a) in the printed circuit board (11). The second section (23) may be tapered or of a smaller diameter than the first section (20). The inverted conical end (30b) is splayed or expanded into contact with the printed circuit board (11), by activation through the bore (22) of tubular shank (20, 23; 32, 30), to secure the electrical connector assembly (12, 17) to the printed circuit board (11).
