French term or phrase: dépanalisation
This is a job posting for a general production assistant by an electronic parts assembler. "Le titulaire du poste est responsable d’effectuer diverses tâches requises pour la production des cartes électroniques telles que la coupe, le lavage, la **dépanalisation**, le test et l’assemblage des produits." And in the next section:
"1. Lavage[...]
2. Coupe et **dépanalisation**
-- Couper les surplus de broches selon les instructions
-- Effectuer la **dépanalisation** manuelle et mécanique pour les produits simples"
I've tried every variation of the word but can't find anything anywhere to make sense of it.
Can anyone help?
Thank you! :-)

Explanation:
In this case we are talking about the assembly of electronics boards.
As already pointed out, bare PCBs are manufactured with several individual figures arranged in a bigger panel.
Is common practice not to break out the individual circuits before assembling and soldering of the electronic components, but instead to separate the individual parts only after that the boards are completely finished.
The separation of individual boards so becomes a critical step, because simple manual bend-and-break operations can damage the sensitive electronics parts.
Thus is usually necessary to use systems much more advanced , mechanical or even laser, to depanelize the electronic assemblies.
