ABSTRACT:
A universal mounting assembly that can be attached to both a cylindrical surface and a planar surface is provided according to embodiments of the present invention. The universal mounting assembly includes a top plate, a bottom plate, and a spacer. Both the top plate and the bottom plate have a pair of parallel edge portions and at least one curved edge portion that is disposed between the two parallel edge portions. The curved edge portion on the top and bottom plate contains at least one mounting tab for attaching the universal mounting assembly to a cylindrical support structure. The universal mounting assembly also includes planar mounting brackets located at each intersection of the parallel edge portions and the curved edge portion for mounting to a planar support structure. The top plate and the bottom plate are rigidly affixed to the spacer, which may be annular shaped and used to house electronic components, such as a lightning protection circuit. Other embodiments are also claimed and described.
