ABSTRACT:
A device for setting the switches of a circuitboard-carried dual in-line package [DIP] which includes an array of miniature closely lined switch actuators such as toggle elements adapted to be rocked around a common axis to open and close their associated switches, which device has a recess with an outline configuration conforming to that of the package to receive the upper portion of the package to bring the lower ends of a plurality of operating arms pivotable around a common axis and having an interarm spacing corresponding to the toggle elements spacing into cooperative relationship with the toggle elements. The arms have offset handles with progressively increasing offsets from the center handles outwardly and extend through slots in the cover of the device so that the interhandle spacing is appreciably greater than is the spacing between adjacent switch toggle elements. Each handle is movable between two positions at which its arm holds the corresponding toggle element at positions at which its switch is open or is closed. Springs resiliently retain the handles in the positions to which they have been moved. Preferably the cover of the device is provided with legends adjacent the handles indicating prices to which they correspond and the device is provided with another legend indicating the correct orientation of the device with reference to the switch package.
