ABSTRACT:
A mounting assembly for use in mounting electronic components into a housing. The mounting assembly includes a plate mounted in spaced relation to a wall of the housing, and a catch formed in the wall near the plate. An electronic component carrier is slidably mountable to the plate. The carrier has a fully removed condition in which the carrier is separated from the plate and an installed condition in which the carrier is mounted to the plate and is within the housing. A latch member is hinged to the carrier and is pivotable relative to the carrier between an opened condition in which the latch member extends longitudinally from the carrier and a closed condition in which the latch member extends angularly from the carrier. When the carrier is in the installed condition and the latch member is pivoted to the closed condition, the latch member engages with the latch to lock the electronic component into place within the housing. The electronic component may be removed from the housing by pivoting the latch member to the opened condition to cause the latch member to disengage from the catch.
