Abstract
A cover for a substrate of an electronic assembly. The cover may include a snap-in pin that can be inserted through an opening of the substrate. The cover may also have a barbed pin that exerts a force onto the substrate. The force secures the pin to the substrate. The snap-in pin and barbed pin may extend from a panel portion of the cover which covers one side of the substrate. The entire cover may be constructed as a relatively inexpensive plastic injection molded part.
