Microdevice feeder to assembly line holding connector system

A holding connector system for connecting a micro device feeder to an assembly line table having a plurality of latch stop pins and a plurality of alignment slots, comprising:

• a guide rail pivotally mounted to the micro device feeder and adapted to engage one of the plurality of alignment slots for connecting the micro device feeder and the assembly line table, the micro device feeder has a rail position limiting pin mounted on the micro device feeder, the guide rail has a first end and a second end, the first end of the guide rail being pivotally mounted to the micro device feeder, the rail position limiting pin engages the second end of the guide rail and for limiting pivoting movement of the second end of the guide rail;
• a holding mechanism including:
• a latch pivotally mounted to the micro device feeder and adapted to engage one of the plurality of latch stop pins for holding the micro device feeder to the assembly line table, and
• a latch spring positioned within the micro device feeder, the latch spring having a first end and a second end, the first end of the latch spring coupled to the micro device feeder, the second end of the latch spring coupled to the latch, the latch spring adapted to extend and push against a first end of the latch, and
• a latch limiting pin mounted on the micro device feeder, the latch limiting pin adapted to limit an extension of the latch spring, wherein the pivoting movement of the second end of the guide rail allows the latch to clear one of the plurality of latch stop pins.
