Abstract

A PCB insertion and extraction device includes a latching lever carrying a latch adapted to cooperate with a catch to latch the lever in an insertion position thereof. The latch is received in a hole extending through the lever and has an operating end which can be manually operated from a front side of the lever to pivot the latch relative to the lever. The catch is defined in the PCB assembly. A switch is provided in the catch so as to be triggered by the latch when the same is positively engaged with the catch.
