ABSTRACT:
A tool for inserting and removing a component, such as a programmable gate array integrated circuit (PGA IC) chip. At least two blocks are mounted on a threaded rotatable shaft, the shaft for causing relative movement between the blocks when rotated. Resilient flanges which are biased outward are attached at one of their ends to the uppermost block, while rigid support flanges are attached to a lower block. The free ends of the resilient flanges contain catches for gripping a PGA IC or its socket (mounted on a printed circuit board, e.g.). For removal of the chip, the catches grip the IC, and the shaft is rotated to cause the IC to be pulled from the socket. For insertion, the catches grip the socket, and shaft rotation causes the lowest block to push the IC into the socket.
