In a termination machine (20) for inserting wires (22) into insulation displacement slots (32) (see Fig. 8) of terminals (24) of an electrical connector (26) during each termination stroke, a connector locating member (80) moves together with a termination blade (128) to precisely position the connector (26) for termination. A wire locator (144) moves together with the termination blade (128) and moves the wire (22) into a guide slot (148) in a template (146) over the connector (26). When the blade (128), the wire (22) and the connector (26) are in precise alignment, the termination blade (128) completes the termination stroke. A feed slide (62) and pawl system (72, 78) moves the connector (26) in steps equal to the terminal centerline spacing (X) (Fig. 9) and the feed stroke is selectively adjusted to skip voids where terminals (24) are not to be terminated with wires (22).
