A low cost PCB carrier and connectivity system comprises a unique technique for securing a PCB within an enclosure, while providing electrical interconnection between wire cabling and/or other PCBs, without the use of screws.
Claims14
An apparatus for securing a printed circuit board (PCB), comprising:
- an insulating carrier that is self aligning to a base;
- a plurality of locator pins mounted on, and projecting from, a first surface of said insulating carrier, said locator pins arranged for guiding said PCB into position by mating alignment with complementary apertures formed in said PCB;
- a plurality of locking standoffs mounted on, and projecting from, said first surface of said insulating carrier, said locking standoffs configured for securing said PCB to said insulating carrier through secure engagement thereof with complementary apertures formed in said PCB;
- and
- a plurality of electrical contact bases mounted on said insulating carrier.
