In my receivers I was surprised that they did not think to mold into the case a simple hold down...............when you snap the case together a simple plastic piece built into the case would make gentle contact with the top of the connector.......I even thought about adding a small piece of styfoam cut to the right size would put a little down pressure on the connector when both halves were snapped together......... the epo foam could be glued to the case using hot glue. ( I could just be over thinking it of course)

I however would be nervous if the connector was off metal connectors it will loosen up after a few on off cycles.


Thanks guys for putting that in my mined about my Radio spektrum module .....ignorance was bliss. LOL
