Abstract

The guide rails for the circuit boards of a component carrier are provided with centering pins on their undersides and with a spring elastic holding clamp at one end as fastening element whose base is attached to the underside and whose holding tongue is bent in the direction toward the centering pin, with the distance of the front edge of the holding tongue from the centering pin being slightly greater than the distance of the front edge of the long holes of the module rails from the front edge of the longitudinal web of the module rails. At the other end of the guide rails a resilient clamping web projects as a second fastening element parallel to the centering pin. The free end of the clamping web is provided with a clamping shoulder oriented toward the centering pin for gripping around the front edge of the longitudinal web of the module rails.
