Abstract
An apparatus for affixing a printed circuit board within a monitor including a molded frame for supporting the printed circuit board and a fixing structure for releasably engaging the printed circuit board in the frame. The molded frame securely holds the printed circuit board in place and has a central support surface provided by a cross brace to prevent sagging of the printed circuit board in the center. A wire securement structure is also integrally provided on the molded frame for securing the wiring connecting a degaussing coil on the cathode ray tube to an electronic component mounted on the printed circuit board. Securing the wiring facilitates assembly as well as reducing any contact noise that may be generated by a loose wire on board mounted components.
