ABSTRACT:
The standoff for mounting a circuit board to a chassis includes two parts. The first part is a grounding clip which includes two legs for engaging a chassis and supporting an apertured platform. The second part is a spring arm detent attachment with two elastically opposed spring arms with enlarged detent elements at distal ends thereof. Flanges are provided laterally adjacent to the spring arms. The flanges are spaced from the spring arms by a distance substantially equal to the sum of the thickness of the apertured platform and the circuit board. The spring arms, when manually urged toward each other, pass through the aperture of the circuit board and the aperture of the apertured platform and subsequently extend away from each other to form a detent engagement.
