摘要：An apparatus for releasably retaining electrical components has been invented.The apparatus has a support for assisting in bearing a cantilevered electrical componentfrom a mounting plate of the electrical component. The support has a flange forreceiving a load caused by the electrical component. The flange has an inner side, anouter side, at least one slot that communicates from the inner side of the flange to theouter side of the flange, and a plurality of nubs protruding from the inner side of theflange in proximity to each slot for retaining a key in an interference-fashion. The supportcan also have a leg attached to the flange for receiving the load from the flange andtransferring the load to a case or some other ground. The leg can have a plurality ofholes for receiving a screw for attaching the support to a case. The apparatus can includea key for passing through a mounting plate of an electrical component, past the outerside of the flange, and through the slot of the flange. The key can be for releasablyengaging the nubs of the flange in an interference-fashion. The apparatus can alsoinclude a plurality of marks disposed on the leg for indicating regular intervals along thesupport, and a spacer with thickness for accommodating keys that are otherwise toolong to cause an interference fit between: a key, the mounting plate of an electrical

component, and the flange.
