  • Publication number: 20120320548
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a fixing mechanism for fixing a board card on a circuit board. The fixing mechanism includes a standoff for supporting the board card on the circuit board. A first end of the standoff is fixed inside a hole on the circuit board. A stepping opening is formed on a second end of the standoff, and the second end of the standoff contacts against the board card. The fixing mechanism further includes a blind rivet, a first end of the blind rivet engages inside the stepping opening, and a second end of the blind rivet fastens on the board card so as to fix the board card on the circuit board.
