A retainer for securing electrical components such as IC's to a PCB requiring low or zero insertion force formed having spring biasing locking means for applying retaining contact pressure between the leads or contacts of the IC and a connector. In the preferred embodiment the retainer is in the form of a channel having a plurality of depending legs, each of which is adapted to engage the contacts in an operative position. In other embodiments, the spring retainer may be an elastomeric pad. In still another embodiment the retainer includes a lip or flange engageable with one portion of the component and the spring by contacts associated with the connector which apply an opposite biasing force. In still other embodiments the spring retainer is integrally formed in the depending contact lead, the IC or component.
