ABSTRACT:
A robotic tool for mounting an edge connector on a mother board, and mounting a daughter board to the edge connector. The mother and daughter boards are of the printed circuit board type, with the edge connector including a plurality of terminals mounted in a socket for receiving an edge of the daughter board at a first angle, and for electrically mating with the edge of the daughter board when the daughter board is rotated to a second angle. The tool includes a programmable robotic arm selectively moveable to a predetermined position on the mother board, and having a free end with a pair of end portions moveable toward and away from each other. A pair of jaws are mounted to the end portions, for movement therewith. The jaws have first outwardly extending connector engaging portions and second inwardly opening daughter board-receiving recesses. The same jaws are used to mount the edge connector to the mother board, and to insert and rotate the daughter board for mating and locking with the edge connector.
