A card guide for mounting printed circuit boards, electronic pathway or component carrying cards, or the like, to an electronic equipment housing having a wall with a pair of openings formed to receive mounting feet provided on the card guide. The card guide body includes a card-receiving guideway on an inwardly facing side of the body and a card mounting structure on the outwardly facing side of the body. The card mounting structure preferably includes L-shaped posts or feet having longitudinally extending portions which enable the card guide to be inserted through an opening in a housing wall to a position in which the L-shaped feet interlock with the housing wall adjacent to the openings. Most preferably the card guide body is resiliently flexible and can be bowed to allow insertion into pairs of mounting openings and will spring back once inserted to secure the card guide to the housing wall. Embodiments suitable for mounting the card guide to a single housing wall or a sandwich of two abutting housing walls are disclosed.
