Abstract
This disclosure depicts a low-cost assembly for mounting a battery, fuse, or other terminal-bearing electrical device on a printed circuit board supporting an electrically conductive pattern. The assembly comprises a one-piece molded receptacle sized and internally configured to receive one or more of such electrical devices, said receptacle having sidewalls and opposed end walls, one sidewall having a pair of slots, one adjacent each end wall. A pair of generally Z-shaped, resilient, electrically conductive, multi-function sheet material members simultaneously provide total mechanical retention of the receptacle on the printed circuit board and make electrical interconnection between an electrical device loaded in the receptacle and the printed circuit board conductive pattern. The assembly provides for total mechanical and electrical coupling with the printed circuit board of a terminal-bearing electrical device loaded into the receptacle.
