ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for extracting and inserting a circuit card into a socket, the apparatus includes a tool device releasably mountable to opposing sides defining the circuit card. The tool device includes a pair of frame members having a friction fit feature for attachment to the opposing side edges defining the circuit card; and a sliding plane translatable between the pair of frame members. Upward translation of the sliding plane relative to the fixed pair of frame members acts to release latches on the connector to extract the circuit card from the connector upon upward translation of the pair of frame members, and downward translation of the sliding plane relative to the fixed pair of frame members acts to transfer a force to the circuit card, thereby inserting the circuit card with the connector. The apparatus further includes a tool guide having two members opposing each other, each member including a plurality of slots, each configured to guide a respective edge of the tool device therethrough for alignment with the connector.
