  • Publication number: 20200142176
    Abstract: A tube retainer can include a body configured to abut a face of a tube, a plurality of flexure flanges extending radially outwardly from the body and configured to flex relative to the body to provide a retaining force to the body when installed in a housing assembly around the tube, and a plurality of flexure legs axially extending from the body from a tube contact side of the body. At least a portion of the plurality of legs can include an inner diameter that is less than an outer diameter of the tube to provide a centering force to the tube.
