ABSTRACT:
A dual function tool for inserting and extracting integrated circuits and other circuits and composites of dual-in-line or quad configurations respectively into and from circuit boards is disclosed. It possesses vertically adjustable opposing side plates having spaced inwardly-pointing tines at their lower ends for grasping an integrated circuit, and also possesses a mechanism for raising and lowering these plates, and a push block and associated mechanism for simultaneously releasing an integrated circuit and forcing it into a circuit board socket by uniform application of pressure. As the integrated circuit is removed from or inserted into a circuit board by a uniform application of force with no bending or twisting, the chance of bending or breaking integrated circuit leads or pins or breaking the often fragile body is minimized.
