Abstract
An apparatus for facilitating an insertion of a wire surrounded by shielding into an electrical component so as to prevent a dislocation of the shielding during insertion is disclosed. The apparatus includes a wire receiver and one or more conduits within a body. The wire receiver has a cavity including a first end and a second end. A portion of the first end and second end define a wire axis along the cavity through the body and the cavity is configured to receive the wire along the wire axis. The conduits are connected to the cavity between the first end and second end and are configured to direct air flow radially into the cavity and in a direction outward through an air outlet at the first end of the cavity along the wire axis to force the shielding against the wire while the wire is inserted into the electrical component.
