Printed circuit board assembly extractor tool

摘要

The Printed Circuit Board Assembly Extraction Tool is designed to provide a method for removing Printed Circuit Board Assemblies from card file assemblies. The Extraction Tool is provided with a rubber bumper that protects the card file designation strip from damage during the extraction process. Also provided is an handle design that accommodates spare rubber bumpers. The handle also provides a way to remove PCBA's from the card file directly above panels by inclusion of a 15 DEG offset in the handle design. The Extraction Tool design allows transfer of the extraction force to the same direction as PCBA removal. Finally, a channel is provided that acts to automatically deactivate card retainer strips while using the tool.
