ABSTRACT:
A circuit board assembly includes a circuit board which defines circuit board pads, a set of surface mount electronic components soldered to a first set of the circuit board pads using a surface mount soldering process, and a set of surface mount coupling devices soldered to a second set of the circuit board pads using the surface mount soldering process. Each surface mount coupling device is configured to couple at least a portion of an object to the circuit board. Each surface mount coupling device includes a set of surface mount pads connected to the second set of the circuit board pads by solder joints resulting from the surface mount soldering process, a set of legs extending from the set of surface mount pads, and a body portion connected to the set of legs, the body portion providing a fixed structure relative to the circuit board for securing the object.
