A mounting device (30) comprises an integral stamping of sheet metal having a head portion (40) and legs (50) extending downwardly therefrom; the head portion including a latch (48) extending angularly to the plane of the sheet metal and barbs (43, 44) extending in the plane to lock within a slot (74) of a component (70), the legs (50) each including a first portion (52, 54) tapered outwardly and a second portion (52a, 54a) tapered inwardly to provide a spring action transverse to the plane of the device and to the plane of a hole in a board in which the device is mounted. The leg portions (52a, 54a) operate to ease insertion in the hole in a board, and the ends of the said legs are free for cantilever action.
