Abstract
A printed wiring card stiffener bracket comprised of a single piece frame and having slotted tab and fastener arrangements for securing the stiffener bracket to the printed wiring card. The stiffener bracket includes blade arms which bear against the printed wiring card preventing distortion and warpage of the card and assisting in the insertion of the card in a card file. A cover interlockingly engages tabs on the stiffener bracket providing protection to the underlying components and added rigidity to the stiffener bracket.
