Combined metal and plastic standoff

A combined metal and plastic standoff for supporting a circuit board in fixed spatial relationship with another element, comprising a rigid plastic body of appreciable length to produce the standoff effect, and a metal retaining member integrally mounted on said plastic body at an operative end thereof and having main, reverse bend and retaining portions, said main portion being in part fixedly disposed within said plastic body, said reverse bend portion being resilient and connecting said main and retaining portions, and said retaining portion being disposed outwardly of and longitudinally beyond said plastic body and comprising means for engagement with the circuit board or other element by an essentially longitudinal motion of the standoff along the axis of said body length to physically lock the circuit board or other element to said plastic body adjacent said operative end.
