Apparatus for inserting tape (168) mounted on electrical terminals (170, 172) into apertures (174, 176) in a connector housing (178), comprises an assembly (16) for gripping the terminals (170, 172) and which is movable towards the housing (178) to insert the terminals (170, 172) into the apertures (174, 176). The tape (168) is initially positioned on one side of a fixed mandrel (158), such side being remote from the housing (178) with the terminals (170, 172) straddling the mandrel (158) and a shuttle (148) parked against the opposite side of the mandrel (158). Jaws (140, 142) of the gripping assembly (16) entrain the shuttle (148) as the assembly (16) moves towards the housing (178) and so withdraw the terminals (170, 172) from the tape (168). |
