ABSTRACT:
A snap eyelet is provided for securely mounting an electrical connector housing to a circuit board and for completing electrical connection between a conductive shield on the housing and a ground circuit on the circuit board. The snap eyelet is constructed to avoid an initial deflection of the board engaging structure during mounting onto the electrical connector housing. In particular, the snap eyelet includes a cylindrical shank dimensioned to be slidably inserted upwardly into a mounting aperture of the connector housing. The bottom end of the shank include flanges which engage a bottom surface of the connector housing when the shank is inserted upwardly into the mounting aperture of the housing. The top end of the shank is provided with tabs that are deflectable into engagement with the top surface of the connector housing for securely engaging the shank therein. Deflectable board engaging beams extend from the bottom of the shank and are dimensioned to snap into engagement with the circuit board adjacent an aperture therein.
