Abstract
The insertion head of the present invention is for a wire trimming and inserting machine, i.e., a machine or apparatus for loading color-coded, or otherwise coded wires into a connector half. It includes a platform with an appendage coupled thereto. The appendage has a channel formed therein to receive and guide wire therethrough to a terminal of a connector half. The insertion head includes a spring biased guide, which bears against the channel-received wire, and imposes a movement-retarding force or drag on the wire to insure that the latter is held taut until engaged with the connector terminal.
