It is an object of the present invention to enable a terminal to be inserted into a cavity of a connector more reliably. A terminal insertion device inserts a terminal at an end of a terminal-attached electric wire into a cavity of a connector. An insertion wire end holding unit (fourth clamping unit) is advanced toward the cavity in order to insert a front end portion of the terminal at the end of the terminal-attached electric wire held by the wire end holding unit into the cavity of the connector, and it is determined whether or not the front end portion of the terminal has entered the cavity. If it is determined that the front end portion of the terminal has not entered the cavity, the insertion wire end holding unit is retracted away from the cavity, and then the insertion wire end holding unit is again advanced toward the cavity. |
