Abstract
A stackable hinging printed circuit board support is provided, comprising an integral plastic molding. The support is provided with an intermediate notch and an adjacent wall section which is sufficiently thin as to permit flexing for pivoting of one printed circuit board away from another. The support has an upstanding circular segment pilot for fitting in a circular aperture of an overlying printed circuit board. The support has at its bottom a W prong structure dimensioned for insertion in a circular aperture of a printed circuit board so as to coact with the upstanding circular segment pilot of an underlying support to wedge the pilot in the aperture. The W prong of one support is received in a recess provided in the body of a subjacent support.
