Abstract
A holding device (10) for gripping a pair of spaced receptacle connectors (50) in a parallel relation, includes a plate-like body (12) having defining two side portions (14) for respectively retaining the two connectors (50) thereto. A retention member (16) is formed on each side portion (14) for grasping two sides of the corresponding connector (50). A pair of guidance channels (22) are provided at two opposite ends of the body (12) for cooperation with the end projections (54) on the connector (50). A pair of bosses (26) are respectively disposed about the corresponding channels (22) for restraining and aligning the lengthwise position of the connector (50) with regard to the holding device (10). Transverse ribs (28) are formed on the body (12) for abutment with the top surface (56) of the connector (50). Therefore, the connector (50) can be reliably and efficiently retained by the holding device (10) for moving to the specific predetermined position on the PC board through a suction nozzle of a robot arm.
