Abstract
A component mounting apparatus includes a support surface. A fixed wall extends from the support surface. A floating wall is coupled to the support surface by a plurality of resilient arms extending between the support surface and the floating wall. A component may be positioned on the support surface between the fixed wall and the floating wall, whereby the plurality of resilient arms adjust the position of the floating wall to allow the component to be easy secured to or removed from the component mounting apparatus.
