Abstract
One aspect of the instant application provides an apparatus for locking a circuit board in position. The apparatus can include a cam latch, a plunger, and a hinge pin coupling the cam latch and the plunger. The cam latch is positioned to rotate around the hinge pin, and the rotation of the cam latch causes a linear motion of the plunger in a plane parallel to a component-mounting surface of the circuit board, thereby facilitating locking and unlocking of the circuit board.
