Abstract
A printed circuit board mounted connector which employs separate fasteners for securing the connector to elongate mounting holes of the board. The fastener has an upper cap and a lower non-circular threaded rod. The insulative housing of the connector has a pair of side flanges. Each flange has a stepped through-hole, consisting of an upper hole for receiving the upper cap of the fastener and a lower non-circular hole for receiving the lower non-circular threaded rod of the fastener, and a number of protrusions on an interior wall of the upper hole. The protrusion has an inclined top surface which assist in a turning movement of the upper cap of the fastener within the upper hole of the flange. The lower non-circular threaded rod is dimensioned to be rotatable about a certain angle within the lower non-circular hole of the flange until contacting and thus engaging an interior wall of the lower non-circular hole.
