Apparatus for inserting wires into wire-receiving portions of electrical connectors.

摘要

Apparatus for inserting wires into wire-receiving portions of electrical connectors.

Connectors (10) each with two wire-receiving portions (48 and 50) are fed to a wire insertion station (18) on a flexible tape (8).

In order to render the apparatus self programming, the connectors (10) are secured to the tape (8) by means of studs (48' and 50') thereon, each stud having a predetermined position relative to a wire-receiving portion (48 or 50). The studs (48' and 50') impinging in turn against movable stops (122) placed sequentially in their path to position each wire-receiving portion (48 and 50) in turn at the wire insertion station (18).
