Abstract

An attachment mechanism for an electronic component includes a circuit board and a fastener. The circuit board includes a first connector connected to a second connector of the electronic component. The fastener includes two operation portions and a connection portion connected between the operation portions. The operation portions clamp the first connector. A hook extends from a top of the connection portion to engage with a first end of the electronic component.

Claims (16)

1. An attachment mechanism for fastening an electronic component having a first connector, the attachment mechanism comprising:

a circuit board comprising a second connector to be connected to the first connector of the electronic component; and

a fastener comprising two operation portions and a connection portion connected between the operation portions, the operation portions clamping the second connector, a holding portion extending from a top of the connection portion to engage with a first end of the electronic component;

wherein the connection portion abuts against a first side of the second connector, the operation portions respectively abut against opposite ends of the second connector, two latches respectively extend from the operation portions to abut against a second side of the second connector opposite to the first side.

2. The attachment mechanism of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of strips protrudes from an outer side of each operation portions.

3. The attachment mechanism of claim 1 , wherein a hook extends up from the circuit board, to fasten a second end of the electronic component.

4. The attachment mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the holding portion defines a receiving slot to receive the first end of the electronic component.

5. A circuit board assembly, comprising:

an electronic component comprising a first connector;

a circuit board comprising a second connector connected to the first connector;

and

a fastener comprising two operation portions and a connection portion connected between the operation portions, the operation portions clamping the second connector, a holding portion extending from a top of the connection portion to engage with a first end of the electronic component;

wherein the connection portion abuts against a first side of the second connector, the operation portions respectively abut against opposite ends of the second connector, two latches respectively extend from the operation portions to abut against a second side of the second connector opposite to the first side.

6. The circuit board assembly of claim 5 , wherein a plurality of strips protrudes from an outer side of each operation portions opposite to the second connector.

7. The circuit board assembly of claim 5 , wherein a hook extends up from the circuit board, to fasten a second end of the electronic component.

8. The circuit board assembly of claim 5 , wherein the holding portion defines a receiving slot to receive the first end of the electronic component.
