Attachment mechanism for electronic component
An attachment mechanism for an electronic component includes a circuit board and a fastener. A first connector is fastened to the circuit board to be connected to a second connector of the electronic component. The first connector includes a mounting portion fastened to the circuit board and a main body on a top of the mounting portion. The fastener includes an engaging portion and a rotating portion rotatably connected to a first end of the engaging portion. The engaging portion sandwiches the main body. The rotating portion includes a top wall and two abutting walls extending from opposite ends of the top wall to abut a top of the main body. One of the abutting walls is rotatably connected to the first end of the engaging portion. A stop wall extends from the other abutting wall to be detachably connected a second end of the engaging portion.
