ABSTRACT:
A tool for inserting either single loose pins or a plurality of pins or posts carried upon a mounting strip into holes of a substrate, such as a printed circuit board, in a continuous process and including a push blade and a carrier control blade for receiving the pins and the mounting strip which are carried upon a mounting frame. A plurality of ribs protrude upwardly from the push blade, forming grooves therebetween into which the pins to be aligned for insertion are positioned. A slideable, securing blade, carried upon the mounting frame, is moveable from a position away from the pins to a position engaging the pins to secure them in their aligned positions. A locking mechanism on the securing blade cooperates with the mounting frame to lock the securing blade in the engaging position. Upon insertion of the pins into the holes of the printed circuit board and the exertion of a pressure upon the securing blade, the locking mechanism releases, and a spring moves the securing blade back to its original position away from the pins, thereby enabling the mounting frame to be pushed further forward to cause the pins to be completely inserted into the holes of the printed circuit board.
