A ram tip component for inserting terminal posts in a wiring board includes an elongated body having an end face and a terminal post receiving passageway extending into the body through the end face and having outer and inner portions with respect to the end face. A terminal post entry slot extends laterally through the body and the end face and opens into the outer portion of the passageway, and a retaining spring is positioned in the inner portion of the passageway to bias the terminal post in the passageway against a wall thereof. The end of the body opposite the end face is provided with a bore communicating with the inner portion of the passageway, and terminal post stop pins of varying axial length are adapted to be supported in the bore to limit displacement of a terminal post axially inwardly of the passageway. The ram tip is mountable on a reciprocable ram member of a terminal post inserting machine, and a terminal post to be inserted in a wiring board is displaced laterally through the entry slot into the outer portion of the passageway. Thereafter, the ram descends relative to the terminal post for the latter to be displaced inwardly of the passageway whereupon the retention spring engages the terminal post to prevent dropout of the post from the passageway during completion of the inserting operation.
