Abstract
A board lock includes a fixed section adapted to be fixed to a connector and a pair of spaced legs connected to the fixed section by means of a resilient section. The legs lie in a plane which is substantially normal to the fixed section and are arranged on opposite sides of the fixed section. The legs form convex portions arranged on opposite sides of the plane thereof for engaging with an edge of a hole of a circuit board into which the legs are inserted thereby securely and stably retaining the connector on the circuit board.
