Chinese term or phrase: 抵于
"支撐部為一可抵於一電路板表面的支撐面."
It is unclear if the support part is a support surface able to _reach_ (抵达的抵) or _support_ (抵挡的抵, in the sense of to "check" something) the surface of the circuit board. The 於 is also throwing me off. Does anyone have any insight? TIA!

English translation:to prop/be propped against
Explanation:
As the sentence conveys, the support part serves as a prop to keep the circuit board in position, so I think the verb 'prop' will do the job very well here.
