Identifying the Ideal Mechanical PCB Hardware for Electronic Systems

With today’s diverse electronic systems applications, a variety of Printed Circuit Board (PCB) hardware and retainer solutions may be deployed to address a broad range of unique protection requirements. This white paper discusses the different types of PCB hardware solutions and their applications –– ranging from general electronic systems requiring basic board retention and placement to complex high-tension, clamping force applications found in high shock and vibration environments, such as industrial and transportation applications.
