Abstract
An electrical device includes a housing having an open end for receiving an electrical component, a rigid member for sealing the open end to contain the electrical component within the housing, and an apparatus positioned between the electrical component and the rigid sealing member for anchoring the electrical component within the housing. The anchoring apparatus includes a center section, at least two angularly spaced arms extending radially outward from the center section, a locator extending axially outward from the center section for engaging the electrical component, posts extending axially outward from each of the arms for engaging the rigid sealing member to restrict movement of the center section and the arms relative to the rigid sealing member, and a plurality of spaced fingers extending axially outward from the arms for engaging the electrical component.
