Abstract:
A PC card holder is mounted on a circuit board. A card retainer is mounted adjacent to the holder to prevent unintentional movement of a card out of an engaged position in the holder when the holder is subjected to vibrations. The retainer preferably includes a finger having a hook formed on a free end thereof that is yieldably biased into a blocking position in which it blocks the unintentional movement. An outer end surface of the hook engages a front corner portion of the card. When the card is being intentionally removed from the holder, movement of the card deflects the finger to allow passage of the card. Similarly, insertion of a card into the holder deflects the finger into a nonblocking position.
