Abstract:
A method of fabricating a carrier for securing at least one circuit board, the method comprising:forming a circuit board carrier having a first elongate rail defining a first elongate groove therein, a second elongate rail substantially parallel to the first elongate rail defining a second elongate groove therein, and at least one cross-member connecting the first elongate rail to the second elongate rail with the first elongate groove facing the second elongate groove; configuring the first elongate groove to receive a first edge of the at least one circuit board and the second elongate groove to receive a second, opposing edge of the at least one circuit board; configuring the first and second elongate grooves in mutually facing relationship to substantially constrain non-longitudinal movement of the at least one circuit board when the first and second edges thereof are respectively received therein; and securing a biasing member proximate a first end of at least one of the first and second elongate rails.
