Printed circuit board mounting device for electrical connectors.

摘要

A dielectric housing mounts a number of terminals connectable to appropriate circuit traces on the circuit board. A board mounting device on the housing fixes the connector on the surface of the circuit board. The board mounting device includes a C-shaped portion defining an upper leg and a lower leg respectively insertable into a pair of slots in the housing. At least one of the slots includes a ramped leading edge adapted to engage the free end of a respective one of the legs to bias the board mounting device into firm position on the housing. Both the slots includes ramped leading edges adapted to engage the free ends of both legs of the C-shaped portion of the board mounting device.
