A connecting/disconnecting element ( 6 a; 6 b) for retaining a component ( 1 ) on a PCB ( 3 ), said connecting/disconnecting element ( 6 a; 6 b) comprising at least one longitudinal arm ( 61 a, 62 a; 61 b) with a first end ( 63 a; 63 b) adapted to engage through a hole ( 30 ) in said PCB ( 3 ), and a second opposite end ( 64 a; 64 b), said element being adapted to clip onto said PCB ( 3 ) whilst bridging component ( 1 ) with said longitudinal arm extending in a retaining position parallel to the plane of the PCB and to a top surface of said component. According to the invention, said element is made of electrical conductive material, said longitudinal arm is ( 61 a, 62 a; 61 b) adapted to be in contact, in said retaining position, with an electrical conductive part of said top surface, and said hole ( 30 ) is a plated through hole with which said first end ( 63 a; 63 b) is adapted to be in contact with in said retaining position, thus achieving both mechanical holding of component and electrical connection to ground. One application is to a utility metering device with a removable modem.
