Abstract
An electrical jack is supported, at its front end, on a circuit board, by a thin flat member having an aperture therein which is a sliding fit over a tubular extension on the front end of the jack. The flat member has a tongue extending radially inward of the aperture, the tongue being bent or deformed on insertion of the tubular extension in the aperture. The tongue grips the extension and sustains the flat member in position prior to attachment to the board. Legs on the bottom edge of the flat member pass through the circuit board and are attached to the back surface of the board, as by soldering. Terminals at the rear end of the jack pass through the board and are connected to a circuit. The flat member can have a plurality of apertures, for the support of a plurality of jacks positioned together.
