Abstract

A connector module can be configured to provide a connection between a component such as an electrolytic capacitor and a circuit board while supporting the component in a spaced apart manner from the board Due to the connector module, secondary soldering operations can be avoided. For example, the module may comprise a body with fingers and support members that engage and support the capacitor. The body may feature a plurality of legs, each leg including spaced-apart members which fit into respective holes in the board. Each leg can include a retention and clip feature which cooperate to hold the module securely to the board. The body can include pins that engage electrodes of the capacitor and provide a connection to the board. In some embodiments, a locking cover can include a ring that engages the capacitor body while also ensuring a secure connection between the electrodes of the capacitor and pins of the module.
