<p>A hold-down (10) is provided for securing an electrical connector (80) to a printed circuit board. The hold-down (10) is mounted to the housing (50) and/or arms of the electrical connector (80). The holds-down (10) comprises a base (15); a first portion (20) formed at one end of the base (15), with a first terminal (30) extending from the other end of the first portion (20) and substantially parallel to the base (15); and a second portion (25) formed at the other end of the base (15), with a second terminal (35) extending from the other end of the second portion (25) and substantially parallel to the base (15). The hold-down (10) pivots or is free-floating, and therefore, provides coplanarity among the terminals in the electrical connector (80) and the hold-down (10). <IMAGE></p> |
