ABSTRACT:
A retention system is provided for an electrical connector mountable to a printed circuit board. The connector is elongated and has opposite ends and elongated sides extending therebetween. At least one retention member is provided for securing the connector to the printed circuit board. The retention member includes a generally U-shaped portion defining a pair of leg sections extending in the longitudinal direction of the connector generally parallel to the printed circuit board, and a bight section joining the leg sections generally perpendicular to the printed circuit board. A recess is provided in one elongated side of the connector complementarily shaped for receiving the U-shaped portion of the retention member inserted into the recess from one side of the connector. A bottom one of the leg sections is roughened and generally planar for surface mounting to the printed circuit board, with the recess being open at the bottom thereof for exposing the bottom leg section.
