Abstract: An apparatus and method for mounting an electronic component device directly to a plug in board within an electronic product thereby eliminating differential movement between the mounting surface of a mounting bracket holding an electrical component device, and the plug in board to which the component device is attached during transportation or use. By eliminating differential/relative movement between the anchoring surface of the mounting bracket and the plug in board commonly found in conventional applications, the stresses generated by differential movement of the connection leads of the mounted component device, relative to the plug in board, and the concomitant potential for degradation of component device performance resulting therefrom, are eliminated.
