ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for mounting a component on a printed wiring circuit board. The mounting assembly comprises a quadrilateral configured member formed of a flexible polymer insulating material to have a central chamber for holding the component. Side walls surrounding the chamber have channels formed therein for receiving edges of the component with the lower surface of the channels having directional conducting particles positioned therein at locations corresponding to the component terminals. Side walls of the component mounting apparatus have a reduced area forming a flexible hinge enabling a force to be applied to the component to maintain each component terminal in compressed engagement with corresponding conducting particles and establish an electrical conducting path between the component terminal and circuit board.
