  • Assembling leads to a substrate
    Patent number: 4177554
    Abstract: Solderable leads (22) of the type which project in parallel relationship from a continuous independent support rail (30) are rapidly and efficiently assembled to substrates (26) by simultaneously feeding a pair of the independent support rails (30) and their associated leads (22) to locate successive leading sets of leads (22) on opposite sides of a lead-substrate assembling position (36). In the assembling position outer portions of the leading sets of leads (22) are engaged to move the leads (22) in opposite directions toward a substrate (26), so as to cut the support rails (30) and thus sever the leading sets of leads (22) from the remaining leads (22) on the support rails (30). Continued movement of the severed sets of leads (22) then causes the leads (22) to be assembled to respective opposite sides of the substrate (26) simultaneously.
