A relay socket is attachable to a cutout in a panel. The relay socket includes a base, at least one rocker beam or heel element at one side of said base, and at least one active snap element at the opposite side of said base. The elements are constructed and arranged so that the socket may be inserted into place by engaging the rocker beam element on one side of a cutout in a panel and pivoting the active snap element toward the opposite side of the cutout so that it engages the opposite side of the cutout and moves inwardly and is inserted into the cutout in which position it moves outwardly to engage the opposite side of the cutout. In this way the elements cooperatively hold the socket onto the panel. There is also an assembly which includes the relay socket. This assembly includes the panel with a cutout into which the relay socket is to be attached as well as the relay itself on the other side of the panel from the relay. The presence of the relay and snap elements prevent disengagement of the socket from the panel. This provides a connection arrangement which has less parts and is easier and faster to assemble.
