Abstract
An arrangement for securing an electrical connector (10) to a printed circuit board (14) includes a planar barbed holding device (12) installed within a recess (38) of a mounting portion (36) on the connector for subsequent insertion into an appropriately aligned cavity (40) in the printed circuit board. The recess is formed with an inner wall (62) for limiting insertion of the holding device and depth compensation protrusions (64) are provided on the inner wall to insure proper orientation and seating of the holding device within a required tolerance range.
