Abstract
A device for restricting the movement of a printed circuit board to which tactile switches are mounted. The device which prevents a relative movement of the printed circuit board with respect to a bracket to facilitate the installation of the printed circuit board while structuring the securing means for the circuit board so that a force is exerted that counters forces created by the activation of switches directly mounted to the main printed circuit board. The printed circuit board retaining device acts to maintain the printed circuit board in the appropriate location with respect to the supporting bracket while preventing the fracturing of tactile switches when an excess force is applied to the tactile switches.
