Abstract
A flexible grounding element comprises a rectangular base portion, and a pair of side portions extending obliquely and upward from the edges of the base portion. Each of the side portions includes a pair of slots at the intermediate portion of its edges. One of the side portions bends toward the other one of the side portions at the location adjacent to the slot to form a bend portion. The front end of the bend portion bends upward to form an end portion which contactably touches the inner side of the other side portion. As the side portions are being pressed, a portion of each side portion will pass through the hole of a mother board, and as the side portions are released, the slots thereof will urge against the inner rim of the hole to effect positioning. Furthermore, each corner of the base portion has a flexible plate which includes a protrusion at the bottom thereof. After the flexible grounding element has been inserted into the mother board, the base portion will urge against the surface of the base plate, thereby exerting a compressive force on the protrusions of the flexible plates. The flexible plates will be urged to bend upward and the resulted counter force will force the flexible grounding element to firmly engage between the mother board and base plate.
