Abstract
A tool (20) cooperates with a chip carrier socket (10) to insert and/or remove a chip carrier (2) therefrom. In operation, the tool (20) is positioned in alignment with the socket (10), the chip carrier (2), and a cover (32). The tool (20) is actuated, causing the engagement means (56, 58) to pivot about the pins (102). This pivoting action causes shoulders (94) to engage a respective surface of the chip carrier socket (10) or the chip carrier (2). Movable frame means (59) are provided on the tool (20). The movable frame means (59) being movable from a first position to a second position, such that when the frame means (59) is provided in the first position, the shoulders (94) engage the chip carrier socket (10) to insert the chip carrier (2) therein. When the movable frame means (59) is in the second position, the shoulders (94) engage the chip carrier (2) to extract the chip carrier (2) from the chip carrier socket (10).
