Abstract
A printed circuit board holder includes an integral, generally rectangular board receptacle which is pivotally supported above the base of a data processing device by spaced cradle posts. The receptacle can be pivoted from a normal position through an angle of approximately 90.degree. to a service position in which the receptacle bottom wall is nearly perpendicular to the base. An integral latch mechanism keeps the holder in the normal position until the latch is manually released. Multiple pin connector boards and stiffener plates are secured to the receptacle by integral latches.
