ABSTRACT:
A universal fixture has an alignment surface which temporarily holds a heat sink for installation of a plurality of electrical devices on its working surfaces. The fixture rotates about an axis to place an alignment surface in a first or second mounting position corresponding to a generally vertical orientation of the alignment surface. This corresponds to a horizontal position of the opposite first and second sides of the heat sink temporarily mounted thereon. Double rows of openings in the rotatable alignment member are universal in the sense they are configured to accept connection pins of the common packages to be clamped against the opposite sides of the heat sink. This permits one fixture to accommodate a variety of devices and arrangements. A unique standoff device supports smaller packages above the alignment surface to permit clamping across larger and smaller electrical devices without the necessity of attempting to manipulate and hold the devices by hand during the clamping operation. After the devices are clamped in position on the working surface of the heat sink, the heat sink and the devices are removed and the pins of the devices are preregistered for insertion into respective connection openings for the pins in an electrical wiring board.
