Abstract
The present invention relates to an applicator tool capable of picking up loose miniature spring sockets and inserting them into holes in a printed circuit board. More particularly, the tool has dual air lines, one being connected to a compressed air supply and the other being connected to a vacuum. With the sockets laying on the work surface, vacuum pulls a socket into the tool nozzle. The tool is then placed into alignment with a hole and the trigger squeezed to activate the air supply to drive a ram which drives the socket out of the tool and into the hole in the board.
