Abstract
A support fixture to support a PC card, having components on side 1. A backing plate supports a casting, the casting having a nest. The surface of the nest is characterized in that it is a slightly larger mirror image of the side 1 of the PC card. The backing plate has apertures and the casting is received in the apertures to lock the casting to the backing plate. Vacuum holes are formed in the backing plate, to draw a vacuum to hold the PC card in a planar position.
