Abstract:
A mounting arrangement is provided whereby an electronic display device with contact pins accessible on one side is mounted on a printed circuit board by means of a plurality of elongated pin extender elements connected between individual ones of the contact pins and points of contact on associated ones of the conductive leads on the printed circuit board, the elements having pin receiving means for receiving the pins and being oriented at an off-orthogonal angle with respect to said printed circuit board and the pin extender elements form a triangulated structural support for the display device.
