A bracket/collar is disclosed to circumscribe an integrated circuit card into an electrical or an optical connector. The bracket/collar has several features, such as grooves, to hold the circuit card into the bracket; the grooves may be on any available edge not mating with or held by the connector, and may hold a corner or other feature of the circuit card. Another feature of the bracket/collar is a mechanism, such as a hook or notch, to connect with the connector. Yet another feature of the bracket/collar is that, by its shape, it provides sufficient loading of the circuit card into the connector so that when dropped or otherwise mechanically shocked, the circuit card is not displaced from its connector. The bracket/collar is especially useful to secure DIMM memory cards within their electrical connectors in handheld computers.
