Abstract
An eyelet is mountable to a circuit board by a snap-fit upon insertion into the circuit board from only one side. The eyelet has converging, flexible gripper legs between which a wire or electrical component lead may be inserted and retained in order to connect it mechanically to a conductive portion of the circuit board. More permanent attachment to the circuit board may be achieved by filling the eyelet with solder.
