Abstract
Abstract An electrical connector receptacle to be mounted on a circuit board, which comprises a housing; a pair of projection members provided on opposite sides of the housing; and a pair of mounting members made of springy sheet metal each having an annular fixing portion having a central opening adapted to be snapped over the projection member and a pair of leg portions extending from the fixing portion and adapted to be inserted into mounting holes of the board. An electrical connector receptable to be mounted on a circuit board, which comprises an insulating housing a pair of projection members provided on opposite sides of the housing, each projection member having a through hole; and a pair of mounting members made of springy sheet metal and having a head portion to be provided from entering the through hole, and a pair of leg portions extending from the head portion and adapted to be inserted into mounting holes of the circuit board through the through hole, while said leg portions return outwardly within the through hole after the mounting member has been inserted.
