Abstract:
A method of applying a material on a printed circuit board, comprising:providing a base having a surface having a radius of curvature including one of a convex radius of curvature and a concave radius of curvature for mounting the printed circuit board thereon, the base having at least one aperture therein; providing at least two clamping elements for use with the base; providing at least two retaining elements for use with the base and the at least two clamping elements; placing the printed circuit board on the base; holding at least two edges of the printed circuit board with a portion of a clamping element of the at least two clamping elements to the base by engaging the at least two retaining elements with portions of the clamping element for conforming the printed circuit board to the surface of the base, the printed circuit board having a radius of curvature including one of a convex radius of curvature and a concave radius of curvature of at least a portion thereof as a result of conforming to the surface of the base, the radius of curvature of the base opposite the radius of curvature of the printed circuit board; and applying a material to the base for retaining the material thereon.
