Abstract
An electrical component has a housing received in a receiving groove, which is confined by opposite lateral walls connected to a groove bottom, formed in a support. A retaining device includes a base extending from one end of the housing and disposed on the groove bottom of the receiving groove, an engaging block confined non-rotatably in the receiving groove and disposed between the base and opposite stop protrusions that are formed respectively on the lateral walls and that cooperate to form a restricted access into the receiving groove, and a fastener extending rotatably through a through hole in the engaging block and coupled rotatably to the base. Operation of the fastener can drive the engaging block to move to an engaging position, where the engaging block abuts against the stop protrusions and where the fastener urges the base toward the groove bottom.
