Abstract
A fixture (20) for fixing the position of a circuit component (22) relative to a circuit board (28). The fixture includes a spacer (40) that has contact surfaces (50) that bear upon a surface (26) of the board (28). The spacer (40) also includes support surfaces (56) upon which a dual in-line packaged component (22) rests. The distance between the contact surfaces (50) and support surfaces (56) are established to precisely locate a surface (60) of the component relative to the surface (26) of the board (28). Also included are clip mechanisms (42, 44) for securing the spacer (40) to the board (28) and for securing the component (22) to the spacer (40).
