Abstract
The invention provides an articulated latch for use with the faceplate of a printed circuit board (PCB) adapted to be inserted into and removed from its functional location on a mounting frame. The latch comprises an actuating member pivotally secured to a latching member adapted to be pivotally attached to the faceplate of a PCB. The actuating and latching members have an interface mechanism comprised of cooperating tab, slots, and wells for allowing the actuating member to lock at at least two positions into the latching member. With the PCB positioned in its functional location, the actuating member of the latch may be stored in an approximately horizontal position.
