Abstract
A holding device (24) operates to hold a component such as a connector (16) to a printed circuit board (12) through a pair of spring driven projections (30, 40) having barbs (34, 44) engaging interior surfaces (14, 20, 22) of the component and board. Releasible versions (50, 80) facilitate closure by a tool to remove barbs from the components and allow separation of elements.
