ABSTRACT:
A tool for aligning the leads or pins of a connector while they are inserted in the holes of the electronic package to which the connector will be attached is described. Guide rails, which are attached to a fixed-block on one end and a removable slidable block at the other end, are placed between the leads to align them in one direction. A comb having protruding teeth is positioned so that the teeth are placed between the leads in a direction perpendicular to the guide rails. The guide rails and teeth align and constrain the leads in the same pattern as the holes of the package and a clamp holds the guide rails and teeth in place. After the leads have been started to be inserted in the holes of the electronic package the comb is removed. The slidable block is removed from one end of the guide rails, and the guide rails are pulled out of their position between the leads. The connector leads are then fully inserted into the holes.
