ABSTRACT:
A circuit board holder includes a base portion, and a mounting portion coupled to the base portion. The mounting portion is configured to actuate with a first circuit board when the circuit board holder attaches to the first circuit board. The circuit board holder further includes a capturing portion coupled to the base portion. The capturing portion is configured to capture an edge of a second circuit board when the circuit board holder attaches to the first circuit board and when the second circuit board electrically connects with the first circuit board. Such a holder alleviates the need to consume a large amount of circuit board space on the second circuit board. Furthermore, the use of such a circuit board holder enables the first and second circuit boards to maintain reliable electrical connectivity even when exposed to heavy shock or vibration.
