ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (10) for mounting to the edge (70) of a circuit board (24) in disclosed. Two metal clips (30) are utilized to both position the connector on the circuit board and to hold it in place until the connector leads (16, 18) are soldered in place. Each of the clips (30) includes a shank (34) that is in interfering engagement with an opening in the connector housing (12), a pair of mutually perpendicular abutting surfaces (48, 50) that locate against a major surface (62) of the circuit board (24) and an edge (70) thereof, and a beam (42) having a free end (44) that engages a hole (60) in the circuit board. When the free ends (44) of the two clips (30) are inserted into the two holes in the circuit board, and the connector (10) pivoted into place, the connector is held in position against the major surface (62), adjacent the edge (70) of the circuit board.
