Abstract
The invention provides an electronics board assembly apparatus which includes a base, a slide, an arm, a punch, a bracket, a roller member and at least a first engagement component. The slide is mounted to the base for sliding movement along the base. The arm extends upwardly firm the base and the punch is located on the arm in a position over the slide. The roller member is rotatable mounted to the bracket. Movement of the slide into a first position causes the roller member to come to rest in the engagement surface. The engagement has first and second portions on opposing sides of the roller member when at rest in the engagement surface, the first portion providing less resistance than the second portion against the roller member leaving the engagement surface
