ABSTRACT:
A conductive spacer (1) comprises a spacing member (4) and upper and lower fixing members (7,8) to secure upper and lower boards (5,6) a certain distance apart. The upper and lower fixing members (7,8) include upper and lower supporting members (9, 17a,17b) for pressing against the inner surfaces of the upper and lower boards (5,6), and upper and lower locking members (12a,12b,19a,19b) extending from the center of the upper and lower supporting members (9,17a,17b) for passing through holes (34,35) in the upper and lower boards (5,6), resiliently expanding outward, and for securing outer surfaces of the upper and lower boards (5,6). The upper and lower fixing members (7,8) and the upper and lower locking members (12a,12b,19a,19b) thus support the boards (5,6). One end of a conductive member (3) is attached to the lower supporting members (17a,17b) on the lower board (6 ), and the other end of the conductive member (3) extends to contact the upper board (5). Since the conductive member (3) thus contacts both boards (5,6), it makes a circuit and grounds the boards (5,6) to each other. By inserting the conductive spacer (1) in the holes (34,35) in the boards (5,6), the boards (5,6) are both kept a certain distance apart and grounded.
