  • Patent number: 3950603
    Abstract: An enclosed modular circuit component is immobilized against deleterious movement due to high impact, shock and vibration movement. A two-piece enclosure case for securely immobilizing a wide variety of readily available modular circuit components is easy to fabricate and utilize with the components. The enclosure case comprises two halves each of which has a top and a bottom, respectively, with two oppositely disposed side walls projecting therefrom. At least one half of the case has a ledge upon which the circuit component header, such as an element support board or a printed circuit board, may be supported. The other half of the case is then provided with means to urge the board against the ledge so that when the two halves are placed together the component is sandwiched between them in a secured immobile relationship. The component elements may be maintained spaced from contact with the enclosure interior surfaces.
