ABSTRACT:
An economical guide, holding and support means for a printed circuit board is disclosed. The holding or support means may be fabricated of spring steel and may be supported at one end by the same fastening means that fastens the printed circuit board connector to its mounting surface. The holding means includes a groove or a perforation for providing three directional edge support of the printed circuit board. A notch may be provided on the printed circuit board whereby the holding means may serve as a releasable lock for retaining the printed circuit board. The openness of the holding and support means provides for improved air circulation and, therefore, a reduced chance of component overheating. The support means may also be used to provide a ground connection to the supported printed circuit board and/or to complete a test or continuity circuit by switch actuation or circuit completion.
