Abstract
In some examples, a tool-less electronic component retention apparatus includes a bracket to affix to a circuit board, and a spring-loaded arm attached to the bracket. The spring-loaded arm has an engagement tab that is angled downwardly to engage an upper surface of an electronic component to mount the electronic component to the circuit board. The spring-loaded arm is pivotable between an engaged position and a release position by a user without use of a tool.
