<p>A standoff boardlock is provided for mounting a connector shell flange to a circuit board, which provides large holding power throughout a range of board hole sizes, which can be constructed at low cost, and which is versatile. The boardlock (14, FIG. 2) includes a standoff (50) formed of solid metal stock that has been lathe-machined to form primarily circular surfaces, and a clip (52) that is formed of sheet metal and that has an upper mount region (54) mounted within a hole (90) of the standoff and which has plurality of resilient beams (56) that project downwardly from the mount region and which pass through a circuit board hole (20) to lock therein. The standoff is attached to the connector shell flange (26) and to the clip in a single swaging operation wherein an upper flange (76) of the standoff is deformed radially outwardly onto the top of the shell flange and a middle flange (100) of the standoff is deformed radially inwardly into the mount region of the clip.</p> |
