ABSTRACT:
A standoff ground connector for mounting a circuit board to a chassis in a piece of electronic equipment in a standoff grounded position relative thereto includes two pre-load form members, each including two opposed shanks with support portions for the circuit board. A mounting device including an arrowhead shaped portion and a contiguous portion of reduced width forms a detent mounting device for the circuit board. Inward and outward flexing of the arrowhead shaped portion causes the support portions of the pre-load form members to perform a wiping motion. Therefore, as the aperture of the circuit board moves from the arrowhead shaped portion into the detent position within the portion of reduced width, the pre-load form members perform this wiping motion.
