| 20110216511 | PCBA LOW COST SNAP-ON FRAME MOUNT - The present invention is directed to a printed circuit board assembly having a circuit board with opposing side edges and an open frame housing with parallel mounting frames extending along the side edges of the circuit board. Each mounting frame has a body portion having a support shelf and an overhang ledge forming a channel, the channel nesting an associated side edge of the circuit board. A mounting peg is supported to extend transversely to the entry of the channel, and temporary deforming of the ledge permits entry of the associated side edge into the channel, the circuit board having a complementary peg retention hole appropriately sized to receive the mounting peg. | 2011-09-08 |
