Patent ID: 7278193

Claim:
A device for coupling (i) a printed circuit board (PCB) sheet, which includes a first PCB and a space formed after removing a defective PCB from the PCB sheet by cutting a connecting part of the defective PCB, with (ii) a replacement, good quality second PCB, which is received in the space of the PCB sheet and has a connecting part spaced from a periphery of the space of the PCB sheet by a channel, said device comprising: a PCB securing plate adapted to support the PCB sheet; a plurality of PCB securing pins projecting from an upper surface of said PCB securing plate, wherein said PCB securing pins are adapted to be inserted into pin receiving holes of the first and second PCBs for positioning the first and second PCBs on said PCB securing plate; a plurality of PCB securing tapes integrally attached on said PCB securing plate, wherein said tapes are adapted to secure the PCB sheet and the second PCB to said PCB securing plate for preventing loose movements of the second PCB in the PCB sheet; and an adhesive adapted to be filled into the channel between the PCB sheet and the second PCB and to be cured so as to couple the PCB sheet and the second PCB together.
