Abstract:
A carrier for holding a resistor in a holding region, the combination comprising:(a) the resistor in the holding region, the resistor having a cylindrical body, the cylindrical body having two ends, a wire conductor extending from each end of the cylindrical body of the resistor; and (b) the carrier, the carrier comprising: (aâ€²) a base having the holding region; (bâ€²) parallel rail means within the base at the holding region, for supporting the cylindrical body of the resistor across a central opening in the base, the central opening being under the resistor; and (câ€²) flexible tang means within the base at the holding region, the flexible tang means having arms that are parallel to the rail means, the arms of the flexible tang means positioned for pushing on a side of each of the wire conductors of the resistor, to cause a side of the cylindrical body of the resistor, at each end of the cylindrical body of the resistor, to be pushed against the rail means.
