Integrated Circuit Chips. (IC's)
Some of the chips come in a little plastic rectangle with
an open bottom and top.
setting the carrier with the chips on a piece of felt or
similar material on a table top and pushing lightly with a
pencil eraser or small object that will fit in the top of
the carrier, until the chip has slid down with the leads
resting against the table.
the leads will be sticking out beyond the carrier a little
bit*
If you then pick up the carrier and the chip and set
it on the board, you can line up the little protruding tips
of the IC's ends into the holes into which they are supposed
to go, and while you are holding the carrier, push the chip
the rest of the way into the board again with a pencil eraser
or with an object that will fit inside of the carrier.
For the chips that do not come in a carrier, after you insert
the ones that did come in a carrier, you could use those
carriers to insert the others also, by turning the carrier
upside down and setting one of the other chips on the carrier
and pushing it into the carrier and then just continuing the
same process described above, to insert it in its location.
For chips with no such inserter aid available, the pins should
be bent inwards far enough to line up with the holes in the
board.
Bend the pins on each side equally.
of pins on one side can be bent in uniformly if they are all
pressed against a flat surface to bend them.
