ABSTRACT:
A support member for electronic devices, particularly for mounting devices on a printed circuit board, has a flat central web portion, side members extending down along each side of the central web portion, the side members connected to the web portion by inclined webs. Each side member has a plurality of slots extending down from its top edge, with an aperture at the bottom of each slot. A transverse rib extends upward at each end, with a resilient latch. The leads of an electronic device are guided by the upper surfaces of the inclined webs and the inner surfaces of the slots into the apertures and are correctly positioned for insertion in a printed circuit board. The device is held down by the latches. A protective cover can be positioned over the device, protrusions on the cover snapping into recesses in the transverse webs.
