Abstract
A mounting arrangement for printed circuit boards where electrical and mechanical connection is maintained by the characteristics of the contacts included in the connector. While support is provided for the printed wiring board, no retenion means other than the contacts themselves are employed. The combination of a rigid and a flexible contact inhibits 'walking' of the board due to vibration.
