An assembly for mounting and connecting components, either electrical or pneumatic devices, which are arranged on boards such as printed circuit boards. A channel having a base and flexible side walls receives the edges of the boards in grooves along the side wall. Flexible sidewalls spread apart to receive the boards and lock them in the grooves. Several boards may be located in a channel in end to end relationship. Conduits are defined between the insides of the side walls, the base and the side of the boards facing the base. The components on the boards are located on the outside. Wiring and tubing lines extend through the openings in the boards into the conduits and extend along the conduits. End plates at the opposite ends of the conduits may be used to close the ends of the conduits except for openings through which the wiring and tubing extends. Several channels can be mounted side-by-side with spacing therebetween only sufficient to allow flexing of the sidewalls for the insertion and removal of the boards, on a panel by attaching the bases of the channels to the panel. The assembly thereby presents a clean appearance (the lines being in the conduits) with easy access to the components on the board for repair and maintenance.
