A connector assembly machine accepts wires having terminals attached thereto which are loaded manually by an operator, and inserts the terminated wires into predetermined positions, in a multi-cavity connector housing. The housing is indexed to a predetermined sequence of positions relative to an insertion assembly, and wires are arranged in bins adjacent a loading station in an array corresponding to the insertion sequence. Loading of each terminated wire initiates a cycle of operation wherein the terminated wire is gripped at the loading station, transferred to the insertion station, and inserted into the proper housing cavity.
