A side arm clamp assembly, comprising:
- a molded body formed of a moldable material, the body comprising a clip receiver portion and a positioning portion, the receiver portion further comprising:
- a pair of spaced-apart shoulders,
- a clip receiver slot comprising a pair of opposing substantially continuous spaced-apart grooves formed between the pair of spaced-apart shoulders, and each comprising an opening thereinto adjacent to an end of the receiver portion of the body distal from the positioning portion thereof,
- a flexibly resilient back plate formed between the shoulders with an interior surface thereof positioned adjacent to respective inner walls of the pair of spaced-apart grooves, and
- a catch flexibly projected from the back plate at least partially into a space between the spaced-apart grooves;
- a substantially rigid retention clip comprising an insertion portion and a retention portion angularly projected therefrom adjacent to one end thereof, the insertion portion further comprising a pair of side tongue portions spaced-apart to be simultaneously slidingly received into the pair of spaced-apart grooves of the receiver slot, and a catch receiver spaced between the pair of side tongue portions and structured to substantially permanently interlockably receive thereinto at least a portion of the catch;
- and
- means for positioning the body relative to an electronics device mounting platform with the retention portion of the retention clip projected above a mounting surface thereof.
