1. A device connectable to a printed circuit board (PCB), the device comprising:
a frame;
a first leg and a second leg, each of the first leg and the second leg extending directly from the frame without any intervening structure disposed between the frame and the respective leg
wherein each of the first leg and the second leg is curved in a respective direction along the entire length thereof, the respective directions being different;
wherein when the device is placed on the PCB having a first PCB hole and a second PCB hole:
each of the first leg and the second leg deforms in a spring-like manner and remains deformed in one of the first PCB hole and the second PCB hole, respectively, such that only a portion of a convex surface of each respective leg contacts one side of an inner surface of a wall of the respective PCB hole and wherein no other portions of the respective leg contact any other side of the inner surface of the wall of the respective PCB hole.
