ABSTRACT:
A plurality of rows of leads (6,7) extending from a connector (5) are inserted into vias (32--32) in a circuit board (24) having components thereon. A plurality of slots (84--84) in a comb (60) are aligned with the vias (32--32) and the connector (5) moved towards the comb to position the leads (6,7) therein. A downward force is applied to the connector (5) causing the leads (6,7) to slide along the slots (84--84) and into the vias (32--32). The comb (60) is arcuately moved a short distance to disengage the leads (6,7) therefrom and then moved upward, away from the board (24). The board (24) with the connector (5) thereon is removed. The comb (60) is then moved back to the vertical position to receive the leads of the next connector (5) to be inserted in the vias (32--32).
