Abstract:
1. An electrical component mounting assembly for mounting an electrical component to a printed circuit hoard, comprising: a housing having means for supporting and fixing the housing to a printed circuit board, and a sleeve for accommodating the electrical component, wherein the housing includes a chamber for receiving the sleeve, characterized in that the chamber is tapered from an open end to a back end, and in that a plurality of sleeves is provided, each dimensioned to accept one of a plurality of unique diameter electrical components, each sleeve having an outer surface tapered to be inserted into the open end of the tapered chamber, each sleeve also having an inner surface to provide a substantially uniform cylindrical receiving passage for receiving the respective electrical components, wherein progressive insertion of the sleeve into the tapered chamber causes the sleeve to compress against the unique diameter cylindrical electrical component and its associated sleeve to the housing.
