Abstract
A mounting for printed circuit boards includes a plurality of holders arranged on support rails of an instrument rack, where each holder of a holder pair associated with a printed circuit board is arranged on an adjacent support rail and where the support rails run parallel to each other. The edges of the support rails are formed as outwardly extending flanges engaged by opposed grooves in the body of the holder. The holders also have a clamping device cooperating with the grooves for affixing the holders to the support rails. Prior to the clamping, the positions of the holders can be matched by shifting them along the support rails to the selected locations of the individual printed circuit boards. In one embodiment, the clamping device is a flexible web extending between panels containing the grooves and a set screw extending through the holder body into threaded engagement with the web. In another embodiment, the web is rigid and the set screw threadably extends through the web into engagement with the support rail.
