Abstract
The invention relates to a product carrier for circuit boards (23), which are subjected on this carrier to an operation, more particularly to a component mounting operation. The circuit boards (23) are provided for this purpose with location holes (21), into which location pins (5) engage, which can be arranged on the base plate (1) of the carrier in order to fix the circuit board (23) on the product carrier in a given position and at a given height with respect to the base plate (1). The location pins (5) are arranged on the base plate (1) so that they can be individually lowered. Between the location pins (5) there are provided mounting areas (27) for supporting pins (29), from which these pins (29) extend vertically up to the lower side (35) of the circuit board (23) between components which may already be provided at said side to additionally define a supporting plane (37).
