Abstract
A snap-attachable holder for holding a number of display elements is adapted to engage with the edge portion of a printed circuit board so that the holder does not add substantially to the thickness of the printed circuit board. The holder is of an L-shaped cross section and has vertical protrusions and pawls for aligning with and snappingly engaging to the printed circuit board. The holder further has guide slots for guiding the terminals of each display element so that they protrude upwardly in the same direction as the pawls.
