  • Patent number: 4165142
    Abstract: There is disclosed a clip for securing in mated relationship two-part connectors where one connector part is mounted to a panel. The clip is designed having an upper section which curves to fit over the top of the mated connector housing. The lower section of the clip, which is hinged to the upper section, contains a pair of tabs extending from the side edges. The tabs are folded backward to form slots which operate to hold the clip secure against the panel. The hinge is arranged to provide an additional slot so that the clip can secure connectors having differing heights.
