PCB Mounting Blocks

PCB mounting blocks are devices used to mount small panels and PCBs (printed circuit boards) to chassis within equipment modules.

How do PCB mounting blocks work?

A PCB mounting block is used for interconnecting solderless connectors to a PCB. The mounting block provides electrical as well as mechanical connections between the chassis and the board. PCB mounting blocks are usually fitted with screw holes to ensure a steady and secure fit. They’re available in several different materials such as brass, nylon, and plastic.

There are multiple types of mounting blocks, used for varying purposes. A vertical mounting block, for example, will help to attach a PCB vertically at a right angle to a chassis within the equipment. Boards are designed for various self tapping screw sizes to suit different applications.
