Printed circuit board guide apparatus for a limited access area

摘要

A printed circuit board guide apparatus for guiding a printed circuit board to a mounted position in an area of limited access including a plurality of first tabs extending from a first edge of the printed circuit board and a plurality of second tabs extending from a second edge of the printed circuit board. The second edge of the printed circuit board is directly opposite to the first edge of the printed circuit board. The present invention also includes first and second guide units disposed in a spaced apart parallel relationship to each other and each guide unit including a plurality of guide tabs extending from a top surface and a ledge extending from a bottom surface parallel to the guide tabs. The guide tabs and the ledge form a channel which extends from a first end of the guide unit to a second end of the guide unit. The first and second tabs of the printed circuit board and the guide tabs of the first and second guide units are arranged for permitting the printed circuit board to be dropped into the first and second guide units and pushed along the channels riding on the ledges to the mounted position within the area of limited access.
