Abstract

A holding tool for fixing an electronic component ( 2 ) during a manufacturing process, the electronic component ( 2 ) comprising a winding assembly ( 20 ) and an electronic circuit ( 24 ), wherein the holding tool ( 1 ) includes a holding tool body ( 10 ), first and second jaws ( 12, 14 ) disposed at the holding tool body ( 10 ) relatively movable to each other in a first direction (A), and first and second wire guide means ( 3, 4 ) characterized in that the first and second wire guide means ( 3, 4 ) are disposed at the holding tool body ( 10 ) remote from the jaws ( 12, 14 ).

Claims (16)

1. A holding tool for fixing an electronic component during a manufacturing process, said electronic component comprising a winding assembly and an electronic circuit, wherein the holding tool comprises:

(a) a holding tool body;

(b) first and second jaws disposed at the holding tool body relatively movable to each other in a first direction; and

(c) first and second wire guide means that are disposed at the holding tool body remote from the jaws,

wherein at least one of said first and second wire guide means is movably disposed at the holding tool body, wherein at least the one of said first and second wire guide means is movable in a plane parallel to the first direction, wherein said first and second wire guide means each comprise a wire guide pin mounted to a crank provided on a shaft rotatable about a first axis that is remote from a second axis of the wire guide pin.

2. The holding tool according to claim 1 , wherein each crank is provided at an upper end of the respective shaft and positioned above an associated one of the jaws.

3. The holding tool according to claim 2 , wherein each shaft extends below a lower surface of the holding tool body.

4. The holding tool according to claim 1 , wherein each shaft is provided with an actuator arm.

5. A holding tool for fixing an electronic component during a manufacturing process, said electronic component comprising a winding assembly and an electronic circuit, wherein the holding tool comprises:

(a) a holding tool body;

(b) first and second jaws disposed at the holding tool body relatively movable to each other in a first direction; and

(c) first and second wire guide means that are disposed at the holding tool body remote from the jaws,

wherein the jaws and the wire guide means are configured as different parts of the holding tool, wherein at least one of said first and second wire guide means is movably disposed at the holding tool body, wherein at least the one of said first and second wire guide means is movable in a plane parallel to the first direction, and wherein said first and second wire guide means each comprise a wire guide pin mounted to a crank provided on a shaft rotatable about a first axis that is remote from a second axis of the wire guide pin.

6. The holding tool according to claim 5 , wherein each crank is provided at an upper end of the respective shaft and positioned above an associated one of the jaws.

7. The holding tool according to claim 6 , wherein each shaft extends below a lower surface of the holding tool body.

8. The holding tool according to claim 5 , wherein each shaft is provided with an actuator arm.
