Abstract

Apparatus is disclosed for direct application of color-coded wires into an electrical connector. A notched disc is rotatable in a first direction to drape an individual wire over a row of terminals in the connector half. The wire then escapes from the disc and is fed by a transferring mechanism into an automatic wire trimming and inserting mechanism which loads the wire into a selected terminal.
