A device for inserting a Dual-in-Line package in a printed circuit board or socket. Two elongate resilient gripping elements are movably mounted within a rectangular tubular body. The opposed gripping end portions of the gripping elements extend out of one end of the body and the opposite end portions of the elements are connected to each other and coupled to a manual actuator extending out of the other end of the body. The gripping elements are springy and include portions which diverge and are biassed against opposed inner guiding surfaces at said one end of the body. When the gripping elements are expelled out of the body by depressing the manual actuator, the gripping ends are separated due to spring biassed spreading of the gripping end portions, enabling the gripping end portions to be applied over the package. The gripping elements are retracted in the body to bring the gripping ends towards each other for gripping the terminal pins of the package by moving the body while the gripping elements are retained by co-action with an abutment. |
