Abstract:
A method of making a circuitized substrate assembly comprising the steps of:(a) providing a plurality of substantially planar circuitized substrates, each substrate having a first side with a slot, opposing second and third sides, at least one pair of male projections disposed on the opposing second and third sides, a fourth side opposite the first side, a top, and a bottom;(b) providing a carrier for supporting the plurality of substrates, the carrier having a plurality of tabs adapted to engage respective slots in the first sides of the substrates and a plurality of female retaining members;(c) aligning each of the circuitized substrates within the carrier such that the plurality of tabs on the carrier engage the respective slots in the first sides of the substrates; and(d) locking each of the circuitized substrates within the carrier such that each of the female retaining members of the carrier frictionally engages a respective one of the male projections on the opposing second and third sides of the substrates.
