Abstract
A semiautomatic apparatus for attaching the ends of insulated electrical wires to a multi-contact electrical connector is disclosed. The connector has two parallel rows of slotted terminals with wire receiving portions facing in opposite directions. The apparatus has two reciprocal inserters for simultaneously inserting a pair of wires into oppositely facing terminals. The apparatus also has rotatable flipper members which are actuated by the inserters and which precisely position the wires in alignment with the inserters.
