Apparatus for mass terminating discrete wires to a connector preloaded with terminals connected to a carrier strip comprises a press having a vertically movable upper tooling package aligned above a termination station and a lower tooling package movable to and from the termination station. The lower package includes a housing support, a carrier shear, and a wire shear bar which moves over the support by action of a camtrack as the lower tooling moves to the station. Descent of the upper tooling shears the wires and the carrier, then terminates the wires as it moves a terminal loader above the carrier shear into vertical alignment with the terminals. A detent holds the vertical alignment as a cam track advances the loader toward the connector to fully load the terminals in the connector as the lower package moves from the station. |
