Abstract
A locking mechanism for attaching a connector to a PCB having a mounting hole comprises a lock body including an attaching portion for fixedly attaching to the connector. A first and second resilient retaining legs extend from for inserting into the mounting hole of the PCB. A first space is defined between the first and second resilient retaining legs. A deformation facilitating means is arranged on the lock body adjacent to the resilient retaining legs whereby the deformation of the resilient retaining legs can be homogeneously and efficiently transformed to the lock body.
