Abstract
A lubricant applicator system for electronic connector pins is designed to uniformly apply a lubricant to the pins to reduce the force necessary to install and extract a circuit board in the motherboard. The system includes a reservoir tank which supplies lubricant to a container into which electronic pins of an assembled connector are immersed, with holes disposed on the bottom surface of the container such that the lubricant enters the container via the holes and rises within the container to a certain height which is controlled by an elbow valve, thereby coating only a predetermined length of the electronic pins with lubricant.
