ABSTRACT:
A pick-up head for picking up elongate electrical connectors having contact tails depending therefrom and for placing the connectors on circuit boards to insert the contact tails through holes therein, comprises a framework having a vertical shaft for attachment to the Z-axis shaft of a pick-and-place robot. Connector clamping bars on the framework are movable vertically with respect thereto by means of a first drive unit and are also movable towards and away from each other by means of second drive units. A contact tail comb assembly on the framework is movable towards and away from the clamping bars by means of third drive units. The clamping bars are adapted not only to grip a connector to be picked up, but to straighten it out to correct warpage, and the comb assembly is adapted to straighten out the contact tails of a connector which has been gripped by the bars and lifted from a connector pick-up station.
