Abstract
A printed circuit board component mounting support and spacer having a base with an essentially rectangular face and at least four essentially rectangular feet extending out from the rectangular planar surface of the base. Extending upwards from the base from the long edges thereof are two essentially rectangular sides to cradle an electrical component. The base has two slots extending inward from the short edges thereof a predetermined distance. The slots terminate in an edge of a predetermined configuration and are wide enough to permit the passage of component electrical leads therebetween.
Claims8
A printed circuit board component mounting support and spacer comprising:
- (a) a base with an essentially rectangular configuration having two long edges and two short edges;
- (b) at least four essentially rectangular feet extending downwards from said base;
- (c) two essentially rectangular sides each extending in a direction substantially upwards from the base, each of said sides being associated with a respective one of said long edges;
- and
- (d) two slots in said base each having edges essentially parallel to said base long edges, each of said slots extending inwards from a respective one of said base short edges a predetermined distance, each of said slots terminating in an edge of predetermined configuration, said slots being wide enough to permit passage of the electrical leads of a component therebetween.
