ABSTRACT:
A latching lever for use with a printed circuit board and being of a width similar to that of a faceplate for the PCB, includes an actuating member and a hooked portion projecting therefrom. The actuating member is flexibly hinged to a body portion of the latching lever by a hinge formation which includes a thick section located in a plane of the hooked portion for defining a preferred resilience of the hinge, and a thinner section away from the thick section for stabilizing the actuating member in relation to the body portion. A stud carried by the PCB is engaged by the hooked portion to latch the lever. The hooked portion is disengaged from the stud by moving the actuating member thereby freeing the lever to rotate about its pivot point. A portion of the body remote from the actuating member and extending beyond the pivot point includes a stop formation for contacting an edge of the PCB to prevent unnecessarily extreme rotation.
