Abstract
Structure for mounting a circuit card to a sheet metal wall includes upper and lower standoffs formed integrally with the wall. Each upper standoff extends a predetermined distance from the wall and is adapted to receive and hold a fastening member. Each lower standoff is formed integrally with the wall and includes a projection portion extending the same predetermined distance away from the wall and a hook portion having a support portion extending away from the projecting portion and a securement portion extending upwardly from the support portion and spaced from the projecting portion by a distance equal substantially to the thickness of the circuit card. Accordingly, a lower edge of the circuit card is supported by each lower standoff hook portion and fastening members are extended through holes in the circuit card to threadedly engage the upper standoffs.
