ABSTRACT:

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention is a molded plastic, one-piece, open-faced adapter with an indented area to hold a printed circuit board (PCB).
The PCB is located within the indented area which is recessed by an amount equal to the thickness of the PCB. The PCB is located within the recess by pins which align with holes in the PCB. The PCB is held in place under a series of fixed overhanging tabs along one edge of the PCB and under a series of molded snap latches along the opposite edge of the PCB.
Meyer has invented a two-piece, enclosing, protective holder for a PCB. The two pieces have male and female posts for their joining and for locating the PCB within the enclosure.
Mallory has invented a metal plate with attached plastic edge rails to hold a PCB. Locating posts, locking fingers and receiving slots are formed in the plastic rails.
