ABSTRACT:
A retention system for retaining a connector housing to a substrate includes a pair of slotted arms extending from the housing and a wedge-shaped abutment member having a camming surface and a latching surface thereon. The leg of an L-shaped clip is insertable into a channel defined by the slotted arms. The clip is deflectable by the camming surface as the leg advances into the channel until at latch bar on the clip snaps into latching engagement with the latching surface on the abutment member, thereby to secure the clip to the housing. The clip is attachable to the substrate to retain the housing to the same.
