Abstract: A unitary retainer socket device for providing positive interconnection between a male pin conductor of an electrical instrument and exposed conductor runs of a flexible printed circuit material is formed to be inserted into and extend from both ends of an open ended aperture in a rigid panel that supports the flexible printed circuit. A base element is centrally formed in the socket and has spring biasing tabs extending therefrom to prevent insertion of the base element into the support panel aperture and to provide holding forces to the flexible circuit material against the surface of the support panel. Pairs of legs extend from the base element at a distance that exceeds the depth of the support panel aperture so as to extend therethrough. Retrorse tabs are defined at each leg pair to lockingly retain the socket in the aperture by engaging the end of the aperture opposite to the insertive end.
