Claims3
A packaging structure for assembling to a printed circuit board (PCB), the packaging structure is assembled to a through hole of the printed circuit board, comprising:
- a captive screw, including a screw head, a threaded shank extended from a lower end of the screw head, and a sleeve fitted around and movable along the threaded shank;
- and
- a temporarily clamped fixture, the temporarily clamped fixture pressing against the screw head to make the screw head move toward a first end of the sleeve, exposing a part of the threaded shank from an opposing second end of the sleeve, wherein the temporarily clamped fixture is clamped onto an outer surface of the sleeve;
- wherein, after the second end of the sleeve is fixedly attached to the printed circuit board when a flange of the sleeve is fitted through the through hole of the printed circuit board, the temporarily clamped fixture is removed from the sleeve and the screw head.
