A frame jig for a connector is provided in order to be able to easily confirm the kinds of electric wires to be inserted in a connector and the installation locations. The frame jig for a connector includes a holder having a recess and apertures adjacent every location that confronts a respective cavity of the connector retained in the recess. Additionally, at the peripheral rim of the recess at the upper face of the holder, side recesses are provided on the side faces of the holder. First ends of sample electric wires are inserted in the apertures which confront the installation cavities of the corresponding kinds of electric wires to be installed in the connector. The other end of the sample wires inserted into recesses formed in sides of the holder, and locking members are inserted into the side recesses.

The present invention is directed to a connector holder for holding a connector during wiring of the connector which facilitates accurate positioning of protection material about wires of a cable. The connector holder includes a support member such as a pillar for mounting the invention to the wiring board. The connector holder includes a holder portion which houses a connector in an insertable and removable manner in such a condition that the wires can be connected thereto, and a positioning member is integrally provided with the holder portion and assists in the positioning of protection material about cable wires connected to the connector. The positioning member may also include an adjustable pin capable of positioning protection material arranged around the periphery of a cable in such a condition that the plurality of wires of the cable connected with a connector is arranged on both sides of the positioning member. Additionally, the holder portion may adjustably hold a connector between a connector-regulating member and a resilient member, which resiliently presses the connector against the connector-regulating member. The present invention may further provide for the adjustment of the thickness of the connector regulating member.

An assembly device for a wiring harness comprises a fork (11) having legs (12,13) and a closure (17). One of the legs (12) is rigid, and the other leg (13) and the closure (17) are relatively flexible to permit wires to enter the fork with ease and to permit the completed harness to be extracted with ease. A second embodiment has two rigid legs (12a,12b).
