Abstract
A method and a device for loading an adapter for a printed circuit board testing device with adapter pins having head ends and contact ends. The adapter pins to be loaded into the adapter are transferred by gravity from at least one main magazine, with their head ends first, into an intermediate magazine. Also, the adapter pins that have been transferred into the intermediate magazine are then transferred by gravity with the contact ends first into the adapter. For simpler and more rapid loading of the adapter with minimal constructional outlay, the adapter pins are transferred from the main magazine head first into the intermediate magazine.
