Abstract

A carrier tube for electronic connectors and the like comprises an elongated hollow body consisting of a base member and a top member extruded from a plastic material having an anti-stat coating. The base member is of generally u-shaped profile with a pair of end walls extending perpendicularly from an intermediate flat bight wall. The top member is a leg of generally L-profile with an elongated cover wall and a depending offset wall. The top member is hinged to one of the end walls by an integral live hinge. The offset of the cover wall has locking elements which engage complementary locking elements on the other of the end walls so that electronic connectors or the like can be inserted into the hollow body after the cover member is pressed closed with the connectors being inserted into the open end of the closed tubular body.
