ABSTRACT:
A circuit board assembly includes a circuit board, an electronic component, a plurality of incremental detents and at least one projection. The plurality of incremental detents are coupled to one of the circuit board and the electronic component and are retained relative to said one of the circuit board and the electronic component against linear movement in both directions along a first axis. The at least one projection is coupled to the other of the circuit board and the electronic component and is retained against linear movement along the first axis. The at least one projection is received within at least one of the plurality of detents to retain the electronic component relative to the circuit board against linear movement in both directions along the axis.
