ABSTRACT:
An applicator is provided for inserting a terminal in a hole in a circuit board comprising terminal insertion tooling, having an elongated insertion blade and a pair of preloaded spring fingers, and an anvil including a retractable locating and gauging pin surrounded by an actuator collar. A hole in a circuit board is positioned on the locator pin and the circuit board depressed against the actuator collar. The locating pin is retracted. A ram extends the terminal insertion tooling. The preloaded spring fingers hold the terminal in alignment with a hole in the circuit board and the tool inserts the terminal into the hole. The insertion tool is then retracted and the retractable locating pin is extended to permit positioning of another circuit board hole on the locating pin and subsequent insertion of another terminal.
