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.
