Abstract:
1. A connector tool for mounting a connector having connector pins onto a substrate, comprising: a structure with a base with two opposite sets of spaced walls protruding from each end of the base, wherein the two opposite sets of spaced walls define two slot arrays that include push shoulders to seat the connector onto the substrate, and spaced apart opposite inner end walls that define a gap, wherein the distance across the gap between the inner end walls is greater than the spacing between any two adjacent walls of each of the sets of spaced walls; a common interconnecting structure that extends between the spaced apart inner end walls filling the gap and reinforcing the inner end walls; and a guiding structure extending from the common interconnecting structure, including a protruding head that extends above the plane of the push shoulders, away from the base, for aligning the connector tool with the connector.
