Abstract
A resonator mounting apparatus for use in a circuit (10) captively secures and positions a resonator (40) within a resonator cavity (15). The resonator mounting apparatus uses a pedestal (60) attached to the base (12) of the resonator cavity and a web support (50) attached to a cover (30) for the resonator cavity. Both the pedestal and the web support slip fit into corresponding holes in either the base or the cover. The distance between the pedestal and the web support is chosen to secure the resonator therebetween. The pedestal includes a resonator engagement means such as a peg (70) which extends into the resonator cavity to engage a complementary hole (42) in the resonator. Alternately, a circumferential lip (64) extends from the pedestal to engage the resonator. The web support is designed to flex when engaging the resonator. The resonator mounting apparatus is preferably assembled by an automated assembler without the use of glue or epoxy.
