Abstract
An alignment tool is formed by a pair of mutually interacting comb-like members which, in the open position, receive a plurality of pin terminals depending from a connector between the tines and, in the closed position, the tines engage the pin terminals from opposite sides in trapping them and forcing them to a correct aligned position. After mounting of the terminals into respective apertures of a circuit board or the like the tool is released and, because of its relatively thin dimensions, can be readily removed from between mounted and mounting members.
