Abstract
Two opposing connector catches are disposed on resilient stems at the bottom of a circuit board retainer. A frame is disposed between the catches. The frame fits around the profile of a connector. The catches slip over the ends of the connector and engage shoulders on the ends of the connector. Opposing upright members are coupled to the frame and the catches. A circuit board is lowered between the upright members. Two opposing board catches on the upright members engage corresponding notches formed in the circuit board. To disassemble the circuit board from the retainer, the upright members are bent away from one another to disengage the board catches from the notches. To disassemble the retainer from the connector, the upright members are bent toward one another to disengage the connector catches from the shoulders.
