Abstract
A pick-and-place type circuit board mounting bracket is surface-mounted, or alternatively, soldered with reinforcing posts that occupy one or more through-holes in the circuit board. The mounting face of the bracket is offset with respect to its mounting base to allow the face of the bracket to be sub-flush, flush, or extend beyond the edge of the circuit board. The front surface of the bracket is preferably perpendicular to the bottom surface and a longitudinal threaded bore extends through the main body to provide attachment means for affixing structures to the bracket. The posts which extend downwardly through the circuit board may have at least one planar side surface or a single rectangular post may be employed. The length of the posts is preferably less than the thickness of the circuit board for surface mount applications or long enough to extend through the circuit board for wave soldering.
