Abstract
Apparatus for simultaneously inserting a plurality of wires in the wire receiving portions of terminals in a stackable module type electrical connector has a base portion and a removable inserting tool. The base portion has a module supporting surface and wire positioning means on each side of a module positioned on the base so that wires can be positioned with their axes extending across the module and in alignment with the terminals. The removable insertion tool is then assembled to the base and actuated to cut the wires and insert them into the terminals. The wire positioning means on the base can be selectively located at different levels above the module supporting surface so that wires can be inserted into all of the modules in the connector assembly.
