摘要

A method of and an apparatus for inserting into a terminal cavity of a connector housing , a terminal of a wired terminal in which the terminal is connected with an electric wire , comprising: a terminal grip member (49) for gripping the terminal , which includes a pair of guide arms (40) openable and closable in a horizontal plane and a terminal press arm (20) pivotable in a vertical plane; a wire grip member (48) for gripping the electric wire , which includes a chuck (34) retractably advanced along the guide arms (40) between the guide arms (40), a first drive member (27) for retractably advancing the chuck (34) and a second drive member (29) for opening and closing the chuck (34) such that a state of grip of the terminal by the terminal grip member (49) is cancelled and established by the chuck (34) at a forward end and a rearward end of a stroke of the chuck (34), respectively; and a robot flange (6) for supporting the terminal grip member (49) and the wire grip member (48).
