ABSTRACT:
A substrate mounting device for installing an electrical substrate to a carrier substrate. The substrate mounting device includes a plurality of tabs extending from the perimeter edges of the electrical substrate. First and second substrate guides are mounted to the carrier substrate and each include a lower shelf and a channel extending longitudinally along a substrate guide inner side, from an open end to a top guide. The channel is further defined by a top surface and a plurality of drop guides which in turn form a plurality of slots. Also included are a plurality of flaps formed by molded spring back hinges to facilitate insertion from an upward direction. The electrical substrate is installed by manually placing the electrical substrate onto the flapped areas and then depressing in a downward and forward direction, causing the flaps to move in a downward direction allowing the electrical substrate to encounter top guides which act to urge the electrical substrate downward toward the carrier substrate.
