Claim:
1. A holder structure for mounting light indicators on printed circuit board using surface mount technology at a position elevated above the surface of the board, comprising: a rectangularly-shaped body member including a top wall, a bottom wall, opposed sidewalls, a front wall, and a rear wall, all being formed integrally together; said bottom wall being disposed in a horizontal plane, said top wall being spaced-apart therefrom and co-planar with said bottom wall, said sidewalls being spaced-apart and co-planar with each other, said sidewalls being disposed in vertical planes which are perpendicular to the horizontal plane of said bottom wall, said front wall being disposed spaced-apart and co-planar with said rear wall, said front and rear walls being also disposed in vertical planes which are perpendicular to the horizontal plane of said bottom wall; two spaced-apart, cylindrically-shaped recesses being formed and aligned vertically in said front wall of said body member terminating in respective first and second interior wall portions; a vertical partition being disposed in an intermediate area of said first interior wall portion which is perpendicular to the horizontal plane of said bottom wall, said first interior wall portion having first and second openings formed on diametrically opposed sides of said vertical partition, said first and second openings extending from said first interior wall portion to said rear wall and lying in a horizontal plane parallel to the horizontal plane of said bottom wall; a transverse partition being disposed in an intermediate area of said second interior wall portion which is positioned angularly to the horizontal plane of said bottom wall, said second interior wall portion having third and fourth openings formed on diametrically opposed sides of said transverse partition, said third and fourth openings extending from said second interior wall portion to said rear wall and lying in a plane which is rotated a predetermined number of degrees from a vertical plane perpendicular to the horizontal plane of said bottom wall; first and second light indicators being received in corresponding ones of said cylindrically-shaped recesses so that substantially one-half of their lens thereof appear above the surface of said front wall in order that its light can be easily seen by a user; said first light indicator having a pair of conductive leads extending through corresponding ones of said first and second openings in said first interior wall portion; and said second light indicator having a pair of conductive leads extending through corresponding ones of said third and fourth openings in said second interior wall portion.
