Abstract

A PCB mounting apparatus includes a supporting plate (20) defining a number of through holes, a number of standoffs (50) engaging in the through holes, and a number of grounding members (60) attached to the standoffs. The standoff each includes a head (52) having a holding portion, a flange (54), a post (56), and a base (58). The grounding member each includes a first ring (62) supported on the flange, a second ring (68) supported on the base, and a band (66) connecting therebetween. The PCB (80) defines a number of fixing apertures (82). The combined standoff and grounding member is disposed in the through hole. The PCB is placed upon the supporting plate with the fixing apertures engaging the holding portions of the standoffs and contacts the first rings of the grounding members. The standoffs and the grounding members are made of conductive materials.
