Abstract
A speaker having a slotted flange is attached by a robot to printed circuit board mounting posts. The posts are slotted and dimensioned so the post slots are slid into engagement with the flange slots in interlocking arrangement. The posts and flange are dimensioned so that a robot hand can slide the flange between the posts in interference fit such that the relatively rigid posts are torqued apart flexing the board. When the flange and post slots engage, the board flex forces snap the posts and flange in locked engagement.
