Abstract

An assembly (20) comprises a circuit board (30), a first component (40), and a second component (50). The circuit board (30) has a planar first surface (32) and a planar second surface (34) opposite the first surface (32). The first component (40) has a first set of connectors (42). The first set of connectors (42) engages a corresponding set of apertures (36) in the first surface (32) of the circuit board (30). The second component (50) has a second set of mechanical one-way connectors (52). The second set of connectors (52) engages a corresponding set of apertures (38) in the second surface (34) of the circuit board (30). The circuit board (30) further has a normal axis (39) perpendicular to both the first and second surfaces (32, 34). The normal axis (39) passes through both the first and second components (40, 50).
