ABSTRACT:
A rack for printed circuit boards is disclosed. The rack has a first wall with a circuit board engaging surface and a second wall with a circuit board engaging surface disposed generally perpendicular to one another. The two surfaces are rigidly fixed together at right angles to each other and the board engaging surfaces are fixed to and supported by a first lateral flange and a second lateral flange. The first board engaging surface has ribs at the side edges for engaging the edges of boards and a recess is formed between the two board engaging surfaces which receives projections on the boards, debris, liquids or other foreign material. For manual handling and quick access to boards, the rack can be used alone on a desk top or the like wherein bottom board edges rest at an acute angle to the desk surface. For mechanical handling and shipment of boards, the rack can be used in opposed pairs adjustably connected and within a container wherein bottom board edges rest parallel to support surface. For manual or mechanical handling of high quantities of equal length boards, the rack can be used in opposed pairs fixedly connected by side panels with or without a bottom panel and with or without a lid wherein bottom board edges rest parallel to the support surface.
