  • Patent number: 6482031
    Abstract: A board lock for retaining an electrical connector on a printed circuit board is disclosed. The board lock includes an L-shaped body having a first section riveted to a housing of the connector and a second section perpendicularly extending from the first section. A channel-like portion is formed with the second section and has two side walls. A pawl is formed on the channel-like portion, including a first finger and a second finger extending from each of the side walls. The first finger has a concave, resilient portion forming a barbed free end. The second finger has a straight portion forming a barbed free end. The pawl is received in a hole defined in the printed circuit board with the barbed ends engaging an edge of the hole to retain the connector on the printed circuit board.
