Abstract
Simultaneous multiple pin insertion into a printed circuit board in which the pins are held by a carrier with the pins initially having ends located within holes in the board with the pins supporting the carrier above the board. The carrier is then urged towards the board conveniently by press head operation to drive the pins through the board. Conveniently the press head also operates with a pin straightener, after pin insertion, the press head being reciprocable in two horizontal directions to perform a pin straightening operation.
