ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for use in manufacturing an array of parts, such as printed circuit boards arranged in a multi-board panel. The array includes a plurality of the parts joined by frangible connections at a plurality of connection sites, and comprises a receptacle having a profiled upper face configured to generally retain the array in the receptacle in a predetermined orientation with each respective part having a predetermined locus when the array is in the predetermined orientation. The receptacle includes a plurality of apertures traversing the receptacle which are substantially in register with the connection sites when the array is in the predetermined orientation. The apertures are configured to accommodate punching severance of the frangible connections and passing of punched material from the punching severance through the apertures. In its preferred embodiment, the profiled upper face is configured to generally retain each respective part in the predetermined locus after severance of the parts from the array, and the receptacle is configured to facilitate stacking of receptacles with parts retained in the predetermined loci in each of the adjacent stacked receptacles.
