ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for maintaining electronic component pin alignment includes a support member having an adjacent lead shear, a stationary nest, a printed circuit board and a component feeder. A component in the component feeder includes a chip having a plurality of leads. The leads have a first end connected to the chip and a second free end. A movable lead guide engages the first end of the leads. A robot is mounted adjacent the support member for picking up the component from the component feeder, inserting the component into the stationary nest moving the component relative to the stationary nest for moving the lead guide from the first end of the leads toward the second free end of the leads, moving the component from the stationary nest to the shear for shearing the second free end of the leads, and moving the component from the shear to the printed circuit board and urging the leads into corresponding holes formed in the printed circuit board. The stationary nest includes a planar member having an elongated slot formed therein. The elongated slot has an open end, two side walls and an end wall. The robot moves the component into the elongated slot through the open end so that the side walls and the end wall are between the chip and the lead guide.
