Abstract
A mounting apparatus includes a bracket having plural sides adapted to accommodate a board between the sides. First fasteners on the plural sides of the bracket are disposed to connect the board to the bracket, wherein the fasteners are adapted to vertically restrain movement of the board relative to the bracket. At least one second fastener on one of the sides releasably secures the bracket to a mounting surface. A process for mounting a board on a surface includes the steps of fitting a board onto a bracket having plural sides, fastening the board to the bracket with first fasteners, and engaging a second fastener with a mounting surface. The board may be a printed wiring board or a printed wiring assembly. The plural sides may include left, right, back, and front sides. The sides may be perpendicular to each other. The first fasteners may be clips, screws, or channels found on the inside of the plural sides. A second fastener may also be included, and may be a slot, a clip, or a tab.
