Abstract
An accessory printed circuit board (PCB) fixture is used in an electronic device to fix an accessory PCB. One end of the accessory PCB electronically connects to an edge connector of a main PCB located in the electronic device. The other end of the accessory PCB defines at least two holes. The accessory PCB fixture includes at least one positioning foot fixed on the main PCB, at least two latch portions and a connecting portion rigidly connecting the positioning foot with the latch portions. The latch portions match the holes of the accessory PCB to fix the accessory PCB. Each latch portion includes a supporting portion, a positioning portion and a hook. One surface of the accessory PCB is supported on the supporting portions. The positioning portions are received in the holes of the accessory PCB. The hooks are latched on the other surface of the accessory PCB.
