Zusammenfassung:A hardware assembly for installation in a slide-type mounting rail of an electronic equipment enclosure includes a spring retainer and a generally oblong nut received at least partially within the spring retainer. The spring retainer includes a rear wall and a deflectable spring arm extending in a forward direction from each of first and second opposed ends of the rear wall, with each spring arm extending at least partially inward toward the other spring arm. The nut includes a plurality of cam bosses arranged at a front-facing side thereof. Upon receipt of the clamped nut within a T-slot channel of the slide-type mounting rail, the nut is rotatable relative to the spring retainer to be positionable transversely within the T-slot channel, thereby obstructing the nut from inadvertent separation from the slide-type mounting rail.
