Abstract
A hand tool (10) for loading semiconductor chip carriers (30) from a supply magazine (32) into respective sockets (200) for connection to electronic circuitry is disclosed. The hand tool (10) has a loading channel (114) at the front of the load head (110) through which each chip carrier (30) passes as they are loaded into the socket (200). In order to facilitate the loading of each chip carrier (30), admitting slots (162) are provided in the walls of the loading channel (114). The admitting slots (114) are dimensioned to correspond to spaces provided between individual terminals (34) of the chip carrier (30), so that as each chip carrier (30) is loaded from the supply magazine (32) into the socket (200), the admitting slots (162) cooperate with the terminals (34) of the chip carrier (30) to insure that the chip carrier (30) will be precisely positioned in the socket (200). This permits an operator to accurately and rapidly load the chip carrier (30) directly from the supply magazine (32) into the socket (200).
