Abstract A holding device for mounting an electronic component on a printed circuit board, is made up of an elastic plate member formed into a shape having a generally U-shaped cross section to provide a channel for receiving said electronic component therein. Thus the elastic plate member includes a pair of side plate portions for holding the electronic component therebetween. Each of the side plate portions is provided with a slot for receiving a part of a flange formed on a casing of the electronic component and a lug which is to be bound into the printed circuit board by a soldering process. By the use of this holding device, an electronic component which usually requires manual work is mounted on the pc board by an automatic soldering process.
A holding device mounting on a printed circuit board an electronic component having a casing member with a flange on an end thereof, comprising an elastic plate member formed into a shape having a generally U-shaped cross section, said elastic plate member including a pair of side plate portions facing each other and defining a channel with a narrowest part whose width is slightly smaller than a smallest width of said casing member of said electronic component, each of said side plate portions being provided with a slot in which a part of said flange is received, and a lug bound into said printed circuit board, at an end of said side plate portion which defines one of the ends of said channel.
