Abstract
A spring clip modular assembly for a printed circuit board that has a solderless connection with a junction box. The assembly allows for easier and more efficient removal and replacement of the printed circuit board and electrical components while meeting the IEC 61215 second edition temperature standards. In addition, the spring clip is configured to reduce the amount of normal force applied to the printed circuit board when wire tabbing is inserted into the clips.
