Abstract
A tool facilitates the hand insertion of wire wrap square sectioned pins from a fanning metal strip into plated through holes of a wire-wrap printed circuit board. The tool includes a solid cylindrical tip which is mounted within a handle member which includes an automatic anvil. An end portion of the tip has a portion with stepped profile which contains a round hole. The hole is slightly larger than the square section of the pin and has a predetermined depth for positioning the pin in a vertical direction during an insertion operation. The sizes of the individual steps are selected to enable the pins to be ejected completely from the band portions of the strip into the holes of the board at a predetermined depth without damaging the strip or the areas surrounding the holes.
