  • Electrical component support structure
    Patent number: 5283716
    Abstract: A component support assembly releasably retains, electrically insulates and improves thermal transfer of a plurality of vertically stacked electrical components associated with the operation of a printed circuit card. Each of a plurality of integrally-molded component support structures made of a electrically insulating material has a base member, a receiving member for releasably retaining electrical components thereto and pins for anchoring the base member to a printed circuit card. The base member has apertures so that the electrical leads of the electrical components can pass through the base member and connect to the conductors of the printed circuit card. The base member is shaped so that major planar surfaces of the electrical components are retained at an acute angle relative to vertical, thereby improving thermal transfer from the electrical components to the ambient air when a plurality of like component support structures are mounted on the printed circuit card.
