A support assembly is provided for mounting an electrical appliance on a printed circuit board. The assembly includes a supporting structure for mounting on top of the printed circuit board and a securing structure for mounting on the bottom of the printed circuit board. The structure extends through the board so that the structures sandwich the board therebetween. The securing structure is a one-piece plastic component including a body portion juxtaposed at the bottom of the board and a pair of spaced apart externally threaded stud portion projecting through appropriate holes in the board. The supporting structure includes a bracket for mounting the electrical appliance and a socket rotatably capturing a nut for threadably receiving the threaded stud portion of the securing structure. The socket has resiliently expandable side walls for snappingly receiving and capturing the nut therein.
