Abstract
The holder (1) for an electronic component (20), especially a hybrid module, is preferably a unitary plastic element having an elongated base plate (2) formed with openings (14) therein to permit insertion of terminal pins or lugs (21) projecting from the component therethrough. Two holder arms (30) project from the base plate, the holder arms having module support portions (3) and oppositely projecting posts (4). The posts fit into receiving openings (26, 27) of a printed circuit board, which receiving openings having a spacing (S) which is greater than the distance (D) between the posts so that, upon insertion of the posts in the openings the arms (30) will tilt towards each other, thus clamping a module, typically in card or board form, between the module support (3) of the arms. The holder can also form a transport holder for the module, by forming, for example, in the module a notch spaced from the upper edge, and engaging the notch (22) with a projecting rim (9) formed on the upper ends of the support portions (3) of the arms, the notch being so spaced that the terminal lugs or pins (21) then just fit into the openings (14) in the base plate, thereby protecting the pins against damage.
