Apparatus for terminating single conductors (18) to an electrical connector (10) having two rows (12, 14) of terminals (86), one on top of the other. The rows are staggered so that the terminals (86) of one row are located between the terminals (86) of the other row. A terminator (62) is used to terminate wires (18) to both upper and lower connector rows (12, 14) with a press (68) of constant predetermined downward deflection. A pneumatic cylinder (70) having a collapsible piston (72) carries the terminating blade (76) to limit the insertion force to a predetermined amount whereby the machine can automatically terminate a series of different connector arrangements requiring different termination strokes equal to or less than said predetermined stroke. Indexing pawls (40, 42) joined together for simultaneous a back and forth movement cooperate with connector housing recesses (30, 32) to advance a succession of terminals to the termination station for the termination of wires (18) by the blade (76). |
