Abstract: Briefly, according to the invention, a clip assembly 10 comprises a clip 1 and a bracket 6, each having at least one hole (4, 5, 11, and 12) for alignment with each other. Alignment of the holes is required so that a pin 13 positioned through the holes pivotally secures the bracket 6 to the clip 1. The pin has a head 15 with a diameter that is greater than at least one of the holes. The pin 13 with the head 15 is passed through the holes for retaining the clip assembly 10. In the preferred embodiment, a spring 17 is used for biasing the clip 1 towards the bracket 6.

Abstract: A header for an electronic circuit includes two complementary portions. The electronic circuit is a flexible circuit with leads on opposite side edges. The opposite side leads are received by the header portions and fixed in place as by epoxy. The two header portions are then snapped together to form the header. One of the header portions includes tongues which are received in slots of the other header portions for maintaining alignment of the two portions. Clips are provided on each of the header portions for interconnecting with complementary clips of the other header portion.
