To latch a circuit component, such as a connector, to a substrate (9) prior to the soldering, a latching member (1) is provided which can be fitted by hand or by machine. The latching member is constructed as an integral wire-type entity and comprises a base part (2) from which at least two resilient legs (3, 4) extend in the same direction. These legs (3, 4) attempt to assume a deflected position with respect to each other as a result of their resiliency. At their free end the legs (3, 4) are flared outward to extend in opposite directions at an acute-angle to the longitudinal axis of the legs (3, 4) to provide shoulders (5, 6) for acting onto the substrate (9) in the assembled state. Further, an apparatus for inserting the latching member (1) in a mounting aperture (8) in the housing (7) of a circuit component is provided. |
