Abstract
Apparatus for inserting wires into the terminals in the modules of a modular type multi-contact electrical connector comprises a frame having a base section and a head portion which is spaced from the base section. A supporting means is provided in the base section for supporting a connector module and an inserter is provided in the head section for inserting wires into terminals in the connector. The inserter comprises a sector having an arcute surface which is disposed adjacent to the connector on the base section. The sector is pivotally mounted in the head section so that it can be rotated relative to its pivotal axis. The pivotal mounting means for the sector is movable in the head section along a rectilinear path which extends parallel to the connector in the base section. When the sector is rotated about its pivotal axis and simultaneously moved along the path, the arcuate surface moves over the surface of the connector and inserts the wires into the terminals.
