An apparatus for measuring vehicle acceleration includes a housing comprising an interior space and one or more contacts supported in the housing. Each of the contacts includes a pin portion that extends outside the housing and a spring contact portion positioned above an ASIC receptacle inside the housing. The apparatus also includes an accelerometer ASIC positioned the ASIC receptacle in the housing. The accelerometer ASIC includes contact pads that engage the spring contact portions of the one or more contacts and cause the spring contact portions to deflect. The resilient spring characteristics of the spring contact portions applying a retention force on the accelerometer ASIC. The apparatus further includes a retention clip connected to the housing and having a portion extending into the interior space. The retention clip includes a portion that engages the housing to secure the retention clip in an installed condition in the housing. The retention clip includes portions that engage the one or more contacts and maintain the position of the one or more contacts inside the housing, and portions that engage the accelerometer ASIC and maintain the position of the accelerometer ASIC inside the housing.
