ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR HOLD DOWN ANCHOR APPARATUS Abstract of the Disclosure An electrical connector hold down apparatus is provided for engaging a side wall defining a hole in a printed circuit board to secure the electrical connector to the printed circuit board. The apparatus includes a base, and a plurality of spring beams extending away from the base. Each spring beam includes a body portion and an anchor tip portion. The anchor tip portions include a ramp surface configured to engage the side wall defining the hole in the printed circuit board and to move the spring beams radially inwardly so that the spring beams apply a radially outwardly directed force against the side wall to hold the apparatus within the hole. The anchor tip portions also include a barb formed on a trailing end of the ramp surface. The barbs are configured to penetrate the side wall defining the hole in the printed circuit board to increase a retention force of the hold down apparatus in the hole.
