A tool having a ram with an advantageously formed insertion end portion is employed to force a wire laterally into a terminal of a connector. The wire is properly positioned with respect to the ram by means of guides included in the tool. The tool, with the wire, is properly positioned with respect to the terminal by cooperation with the connector and by a jig with means to hold the connector and ensure proper positioning of the ram end relative to the terminal. The wire is trimmed as it is moved into the terminal. During the insertion operation the wire is gripped by the tool to prevent axial movement of the wire relative to the tool and terminal. |
