This invention provides a terminal insertion apparatus which enables a wired terminal to be inserted reliably and smoothly into a connector housing. The apparatus comprises comprises terminal guide arms (3, 3') that guide the wired terminal (4) toward the connector housing (15) and front wire gripping hands (6, 6) that push the wired terminal (4) into the connector housing (15). The terminal guide arms (3, 3') are provided with large terminal guiding chamfers (2). The front wire gripping hands (6, 6) are formed with protrusions (5) that hold the wire and can be advanced between the terminal guiding chamfers (2). The longitudinal length of the protrusions (5) is made smaller than the depth of the terminal guiding chamfers (2), and the lateral width of the protrusions (5) is set smaller than the lateral width of the terminal guiding chamfers (2).
