[0002] In existing connector manufacturing processes, clips are installed on both sides of the connector to lock the memory card onto the connector. The handling of these clips is primarily done manually, involving folding the clips off the conveyor belt and then transporting them to the next station for installation. This process is not only inefficient but also prone to inaccuracies. Summary of the Invention
