<p>A hold down system for securing an electrical connector assembly to a circuit board includes an insulative housing having at least one cavity (26) adapted to receive an improved hold down device. The hold down device comprises two outwardly projecting stops (56) to engage an internal portion (40) of the cavity (26), two legs (54) extending downwardly, and a retention wing (70) on an outer edge of each leg (54), with each retention wing (70) including an upwardly and outwardly projecting beam that is sized so as to (i) resiliently flex inwardly during insertion of the hold down device into the cavity (26), and (ii) to resiliently flex outwardly once stops (56) have resiliently engaged in the cavity (26), so as to fasten the hold down device to the insulative housing. <IMAGE></p> |
