Abstract
The present invention generally provides a case for a printed circuit board which forms a single in-line pin configuration from an edge connected circuit board. The case includes a frame enclosing the edges of the circuit board and a base at a mounting plane side of the frame. Connector pins affixed to the edge connectors of a printed circuit board are secured to the printed circuit board and extend from the base. A tab extending generally parallel to the frame from an edge of the base provides a smooth vacuum pick up engagement surface for handling and placement of the present case.
