Abstract
A tool for installation of pin connector assemblies into a computer path board, the pin assembly being of a type that permits a locking bushing to be slid over the pin into a recess within the body of the assembly and thereby cause a tight interference fit of the assembly within a receiving orifice in the patch board. The tool includes a retainer to engage a guide groove formed on the upper portion of the pin assembly and a tubular driver that is mechanically coupled to the retainer for driving the locking bushing into position. The retainer and the tubular driver are preferably connected to opposing handles of a biased plier arrangement. The plier arrangement may be hand or machine operated.
