Abstract
Wire is routed onto a bus plate by a wire routing device that comprises a wire feed mechanism and a non-rotatable wire routing head. The wire routing head has a horn that includes an inverted funnel shaped orifice. The wire feed mechanism pushes wire into the inverted funnel shaped orifice which routes the wire in wire receiving channels and passages of the bus plate in linear and non-linear patterns without any need for rotating the horn with respect to the bus plate.
