Claim:
1. A system for aligning, dispensing and depositing a plurality of interconnect members onto a column grid array substrate package, comprising: a body having a peripheral frame and an alignment carrier plate recessed relative to said peripheral frame, the alignment carrier plate having a plurality of holes extending therethrough from a top surface of the alignment carrier plate to a bottom surface of the alignment carrier plate and arranged in a pattern; a cover plate without adhesive removably coupleable with the top surface and a retention plate without adhesive removably coupleable with the bottom surface of the alignment carrier plate such that the cover and retention plates removably covers the plurality of holes in the alignment carrier plate, said plates not attached to either end of a plurality of cylindrically shaped interconnect members releasably disposed in the plurality of holes, the cover plate manually detachable from the top surface of the alignment carrier plate to release the plurality of interconnect members when inverted upside down such that the plurality of interconnect members drop under the force of gravity onto an array pattern of metallic pads of a column grid array substrate without the use of vibration or vacuum; and a frame for aligning said carrier plate over said column grid array substrate.
