HOUSING-INVERTING DEVICE AND TERMINAL-INSERTION METHOD USING SAME

摘要

The problem addressed by the present invention is making it possible to invert multiple connector housings in less space and in less time while allowing terminals to be smoothly inserted into upper and lower terminal-accommodation chambers of a connector housing. In order to solve this problem, wired terminals (17) are inserted into upper and lower terminal-accommodating chambers (13) of a connector housing (2) using a housing inversion device (1) provided with: a plurality of holder-supporting bodies (5) securely positioned in parallel to a horizontally long horizontal base plate (7); a driven body (8) comprising housing holders (3) supported in a manner allowing vertical inversion by the holder-supporting bodies; and a drive body (6) that can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the base plate using a moving means (41). The drive body (6) is provided with a linking part (33) for removably mating with shaft parts (4) of the housing holders (3) passed through the holder-supporting bodies (5), and a drive part (36) for vertically inverting the linking part.
