Zusammenfassung:	According to one aspect, an apparatus includes an expansion element, an expandable element, and a frame. The expandable element is configured to have an expanded state and an unexpanded state, wherein the expandable element is arranged to be inserted between a mated pair of printed circuit boards (PCBs) while in the unexpanded state. The expansion element is arranged to cause the expandable element to expand to the expanded state. When the expandable element is in the expanded state, the expandable element causes the pair of PCBs to demate. The frame is arranged to facilitate an insertion of the expandable element between the mated pair of PCBs. In one embodiment, the expandable element is an inflatable element and the expansion element is an inflator element that includes an air supply.
