Abstract
A spring clip for releasably attaching a first member, such as the carrier of a fascia panel cover, to a second member, such as an electric component rack module. The spring clip is anchored to a support plate extending from carrier. The spring clip has two forwardly extending U-shaped spring elements that cooperate with a locking tab and a rearwardly extending U-shaped spring element. Deformation of the forwardly extending spring elements during installation of the spring clip causes the locking tab to snap onto the lower edge of the support plate, thereby firmly anchoring the spring clip to the support plate. A latch extending from the rack module engages the rearwardly extending spring element so as to secure the fascia cover panel to the rack module. Application of a force to the rearwardly extending spring element causes elastic deformation of the forwardly extending spring elements and disengages the locking tab.
