Abstract
An apparatus for mounting electronic components includes a linear actuator defining a longitudinal axis. A driver member is engaged to the linear actuator for motion along the longitudinal axis. The driver member defines a mounting plane and includes a wedge surface that is oblique facing in a direction that has a component towards the mounting plane and a component away from the longitudinal axis in a direction parallel to the mounting plane. A locking wedge is engaged with the wedge surface of the driver member to be driven both toward the mounting plane and lateral to the mounting plane away from the longitudinal axis by sliding along the wedge surface of the driver member with the actuator driving the drive member toward a center of the locking wedge.
