Abstract
A retaining arrangement for securing a housing of a connector to a substrate having a first and a second surface thereon and an opening therethrough includes a spring member connected at one end to the housing having a latching feature at the other end thereof. The spring member is deflectable upon insertion through the opening from a first surface of the substrate to generate a restoring force that acts generally perpendicularly to the substrate to draw the latching feature toward the housing into engagement with the second surface of the substrate.
