Abstract
A substrate mounting device for installing an electrical substrate to a carrier substrate. The substrate mounting device includes a plurality of guide rails mounted on the perimeter edge of the electrical substrate. First and second substrate guides are mounted to the carrier substrate in a spaced and parallel relationship to the other. Each substrate guide includes a channel extending longitudinally along a substrate guide inner side, from an open end to a top guide. The channel is further defined by a top surface and a plurality of drop guides which in turn form a plurality of slots. The electrical substrate is installed by manually inserting the electrical substrate into respective substrate guide open ends and manually pushing the electrical substrate along the channels until the substrate encounters a respective top guide. The top guides then urge the substrate downward until each electrical substrate guide rail falls into a respective substrate guide slot thereby, resting each of the electrical substrate's plurality of guide rails on the carrier substrate.
