Abstract
A tapered wedge-like member has a shoulder which abuts a printed circuit board edge. A yoke extending from the shoulder is pinned to a corner of the board. Two such tabs are attached to two corners of the board for providing finger accessible extraction of the board from a connector.
Claims1
In combination:
- a printed circuit board having first and second edge surfaces meeting at a corner and an aperture through the board spaced from said edge surfaces;
- a retraction tab secured cantilevered from and abutting the first edge surface, said tab including a pair of legs straddling said board at said first edge surface;
- and
- a pin secured to the legs and passing through said aperture for securing the tab to the board, said abutment with said first edge surface being arranged to preclude the tab from rotating about said pin, said tab being dimensioned so that when secured to the board said tab including said legs is at most flush with said board second edge surface.
