Abstract
A tool (50) for inserting a chip carrier (2) into the recess of a chip carrier socket (10). In operation, the tool (50) is positioned in alignment with socket (10), chip carrier (2), and cover (32). The tool is actuated causing the engagement means (56, 58) to pivot about pins (102). This pivoting action causes shoulders (94) to engage a lower surface of the socket (10), thereby retaining the tool (50) in position as second major surface (62) of support block (54) inserts chip carrier (2) and cover (32) into socket (10). The retention feature of the shoulders (94) is insured due to the bowing action of spring member (96), which causes the shoulders to be tightly maintained in cooperation with the lower surface of the socket (10).
