Abstract

A method is disclosed for manufacturing an electronic component carrier. The method comprises positioning a header of a frame between opposing attachment arms extending outwardly for attaching an electronic component for seating within the frame. Further, latching members of a latching mechanism of the frame are positioned at a distal end of each of the attachment arms for releaseably seating the electronic component. The attachment arms are resiliently flexible such that the latching members bend to a release position and resiliently return to a grasping position for releasing and grasping the electronic component. Handling levers are positioned for removably mating the electronic component to a connector on a circuit board. The handling levers extend upwardly through an outer casing housing the circuit board when in an open position, and the handling levers are substantially parallel with a top surface of the header when in a closed position.
