Abstract
A hollow component has a base and includes at least two electrical contacts mounted within the base. Each of the contacts has a first portion which projects exteriorly of the base and a second portion which projects interiorly of the base. The second portions each include a tine for receiving a fragile, planar article such as a thin, ceramic printed circuit board thereon. Shock-absorbing means are integrally formed with the contacts and are positioned intermediate the tines and the base. The shock-absorbing means can be in the form of a horizontal U-shaped bight.
