A one-piece, stamped and formed C-section locking clip for insertion into aligned holes (H1 and H2) in a superposed metal plate (P) and circuit board (CB) to secure them together for soldering the clip to the plate (P) and to a ground plane (G) on the board (CB) comprises a body (2) having a resilient and compliant larger diameter portion (6) for reception in the hole (H1) in plate (P), a smaller diameter portion (12) for reception in the hole (H2) in the board (CB). A spring (16) extending from the upper edge (8) of the body (2) extends for substantially the full length thereof and has at its lower end an outwardly bowed part (22) for engaging the ground plane (G) and holding the locking clip in position for the soldering operation.
