Abstract

A positioning system for a circuit board having a reference positioning hole. The positioning system has a table on which the circuit board is placed and a positioning pin unit. The positioning pin unit has a plurality of nested positioning pins, each having a different pin diameter, and a plurality of springs each supporting at least one of the plurality of nested positioning pins. The circuit board, which is placed on the table, is positioned by inserting into the reference positioning hole that positioning pin having a diameter substantially matching the diameter of the reference positioning hole.
