Abstract
A self-contained circuit board actuator including a pivot bearing connectable to a circuit board and an actuator lever pivotably coupled to the pivot bearing. The lever is moveable between a closed position and an open position. A pair of opposed pawls extend from a first end of the lever and a latch notch is formed in the first end adjacent the pair of opposed pawls. The latch notch engages a catch tab on the pivot bearing when the lever is in the closed position. The lever is coupled to the pivot bearing by a pivot member and the lever is slidable along the pivot member between a latched position and an unlatched position. The lever includes a pivot bore to receive the pivot member and a resilient member is positioned in the pivot bore around the pivot member to urge the lever toward the latched position.
