ABSTRACT:
A guide piece molded out of a rigid but slightly resilient material, such as plastic, having an elongated body with a U-shaped channel, used to hold an edge of a printed circuit card, extending the length of the guide piece to form an opening on each end. The guide piece has a plurality of raised tabs along the external surface of one leg of the channel and middle and end hubs on the external surface of the other leg of the channel. The raised tabs mate with fingers formed in a chassis, and the middle and end hubs mate with holes in the chassis. The combination of the raised tabs mating with fingers, and the middle and end hubs mating with the holes, secures the guide piece to the chassis, without requiring protrusions through the chassis.
