A terminal insertion apparatus having a wire holding unit holding two wires, each wire having a terminal, a connector holding unit holding a connector housing having at least two holes for receiving terminals, and a terminal insertion head is disclosed. The terminal insertion head has a wire gripping unit having a first holder and a second holder. The first holder and second holder are movable in a vertical direction toward and away from the wire holding unit and are movable in a horizontal direction toward and away from the connector holding unit. The first holder has an outer grip and an inner grip that together hold one of the two wires while the second holder has an outer grip and an inner grip that together hold the remaining of the two wires.

A sealing member fitting apparatus includes a sealing member transfer device that switches between a sealing member receiving position where the sealing member transfer device faces a sealing member holding device provided with a hollow sealing member and a sealing member fitting position where the sealing member transfer device faces an electrical wire clamping device. The sealing member transfer device receives the sealing member in the sealing member receiving position and fits the sealing member on a covering end portion of the electrical wire in the sealing member fitting position. An electrical wire insertion guide device is disposed between the sealing member transfer device and the electrical wire clamping device and is slidable along the electrical wire from a lead-out member to the covering end portion. The sealing member transfer device positions a central axis of the covering end portion substantially coaxially with a central axis of the sealing member.

A pressure welding apparatus includes a pressing die assembly which has a plurality of stuffers that pressure-weld electric wires to the pressure-welding parts of contacts , and a comb . The pressing die assembly has a plurality of pins which are located adjacent to the respective stuffers and which are constantly driven downward by springs so that the pins protrude beyond the lower ends of the stuffers . The widths of the respective pins are set so that these widths are substantially equal to the widths of the cavities of the housing in which the contacts 30 are accommodated. As a result, the pins advance into the housing cavities located adjacent to the contact on which pressure-welding is to be performed, and support the housing partition walls from the sides during the pressure welding process.
