Abstract

The invention relates to mounting components having angled terminals, in particular connectors, on a printed circuit card. The mounting apparatus comprises a guide part for guiding the ends of the angled terminals. This part is in the form of a comb having teeth that delimit slots through which the terminals pass. The teeth are provided with orifices in alignment along a Y direction perpendicular to the X direction of the teeth. The orifices are designed to receive rods on a temporary basis.
