Method for mounting a right angled connector on a printed circuit board

摘要

A method for mounting a component of an electrical connector to a printed circuit board which makes use of a body with a retention device having a central connecting receiving aperture and wings in planes normal to the body which have opposed inwardly extending latches and a pair of downwardly extending resilient latches. The lateral latches will engage ledges adjacent the housing of the receptacle while the downwardly depending latches will engage alignment slots in a mounting foot from the receptacle and the printed circuit board. The central connector receiving aperture will be engaged by a connector which fixes the nose shield to the pin receiving face of the receptacle.
