摘要

The insertion head (10) of the present invention is for a wire trimming and inserting machine, i.e., a machine or apparatus for loading color-coded, or otherwise coded wires (W) into a connector half. It includes a platform (12) with an appendage (14) coupled thereto. The appendage (14) has a channel (22) formed therein to receive and guide wire (W) therethrough to a terminal (58) of a connector half. The insertion head (10) includes a spring biased guide (26), which bears against the channel-received wire (W), and imposes a movement-retarding force or drag on the wire (W) to insure that the latter is held taut until engaged with the connector terminal (58).
