ABSTRACT:
A surface mounting means is disclosed which is adapted to releasably mount an electrical component to the surface of a printed circuit board. In one specific embodiment, the electrical component comprises an electrical connector for interconnecting a plurality of conductors on the circuit board to a like number of conductors in a flexible flat cable. The connector includes a plurality of U-shaped terminals which define generally parallel legs, with one of the legs of each terminal being biased into contact with a conductor in the flexible cable, and the other of the legs being biased into contact with a conductor on the circuit board. The connector is releasably mounted to the surface of the board by means of a pair of retainers, which include spring arms which are adapted to releasably engage the end portions of the connector.
