Abstract
A connector 14 with rows of contacts 12 is placed in a holder carriage 22 which is loaded into a wire insertion tool 10. Insertion blades 56 and 57 are moved by a trigger mechanism 17 to insert a pair of wires 11 into two contacts whereupon the blades act to sever excess sections of the wires at points closely adjacent to the contacts. Upon release of the trigger 17, an index mechanism 23 is operated to move the holder carriage 22 and the connector to position the next two contacts in alignment with the insertion blades 56 and 57.
