Abstract
A carrier tray for circuit board assemblies. A metal plate is provided (by spot molding) with non-conductive plastic rails. Fastening means are molded into the rails to accommodate variations of circuit board assemblies. Locating posts in combination with resilient locking fingers and circuit board edge receiving slots are formed in the rails to provide a fastening system that is independent of separate fasteners and tools therefor. Lifting levers, also molded into the upper rail, provide for easy removal of the carrier tray from its interconnected position in a card cage.
