An electrical component having an insulating housing with the housing having a bottom mounting surface and at least one anchor element receiving aperture extending up into the housing from the bottom surface of the housing. An anchor element, having a bottom end, is shaped and sized to be inserted into the aperture from the bottom of the housing, the element frictionally held by the housing in the aperture with the element projecting slightly from the aperture to have its bottom end spaced slightly from the bottom surface of the housing. A method of assembling the electrical component having a housing with a bottom surface and an aperture for receiving an anchor element extending up into the housing from the bottom surface. The anchor element has at least a portion that is sized and shaped to frictionally engage the housing while in the aperture. The method comprises the step of inserting the anchor element into the aperture in the housing from the bottom surface of the housing and pressing the element into the aperture to frictionally engage the housing, the element pressed into the aperture until it projects only slightly from the housing below the bottom surface of the housing. An anchor element for use in the above electrical component having a cylindrical shape with the upper portion of the element stepped down slightly in diameter from the bottom portion, the upper portion sized to snugly enter an aperture in a housing of an electrical connector, the bottom portion sized to frictionally engage the wall of the housing defining the aperture.
