An electronics housing made of metallic members is assembled when a attachment slot of a first member receives attachment cam-tabs of a second member. The hook-like tabs are shaped so as to produce a cam effect as the tabs slide under a portion of the first member such that the further the two members are slid together, the more tightly the two members are secured together. The depth and size of the hook is specified to bears against a circuit board within the housing such that the board is securely located in the housing. In addition, grounding pads on the board can be located so that the tabs bear against the pads when the first and second members are secured together to provide an electrical connection between the grounding pads and the metallic housing. Thus, additional fasteners are not needed to secure and ground the board to the housing.
