Abstract
A carrier housing is disclosed having a plurality of parallel spaced receptacles, each receptacle adapted to receive a loose piece electrical terminal therein. The housing serves several functions, first, to hold the terminals for mass handling and/or insertion of loose piece terminals, second, as a means to assure correct alignment of the loose piece terminals, and third, as a housing to at least partially support and insulate the terminals after the terminals have been inserted into a printed circuit board or the like. The carrier housing can be formed in either continuous or discrete length.
