Claim:
1. A compression resistant mounting component adapted to be mounted to a surface using a mechanical fastener comprising: a component body having a first surface and a second surface generally parallel to the first surface, wherein the component body defines a fastener passage extending from the first surface to the second surface, and wherein the fastener passage has a main longitudinal axis and is configured to receive the fastener; at least one elongated compression limiter being one of a pin, a bar, or a plate, having a first end, a second end, an outer surface, and a longitudinal axis, wherein the elongated compression limiter is embedded in the component body such that the longitudinal axis of the elongated compression limiter is displaced from and substantially parallel to the main longitudinal axis of the fastener passage, the first end and the second end of the elongated compression limiter are adjacent to the first surface and the second surface of the component body respectively, and the elongated compression limiter bears a portion of a compressive force exerted by the fastener on the component body; and wherein the component body is of a material having a first compressive modulus and the elongated compression limiter is of a material having a second compressive modulus greater than the first compressive modulus.
