Abstract

The disclosure relates to a part carrier of universal design wherein a common carrier is provided with a customizing plate secured on a flat surface thereof and exposing a portion of the flat surface. The walls formed between the customizing plate and the flat surface define a reference surface. A clamp having a rigid finger and a resilient finger applies a force to the device being secured to the part carrier wherein the resilient finger forces the device against one reference surface and then deforms as the second finger forces the device into the reference position.
