Abstract

An apparatus for manufacturing electrical harnesses, wherein a required number of wires are fed in an equally spaced state to a cutting and wire-to-connector assemblying section at which the wires are cut and separated into two wire groups. At the wire-to connector assemblying section the connectors are affixed to each of the abutting terminals of the wire groups in a single punch and die action. An advancing wire group, which has a connector at the other terminal affixed in a previous process, is released as a finished harness from the apparatus.
