Abstract
An apparatus for automatically connecting prepared wires to a connector (plug or socket) is described. The prepared wires have a terminal on at least one end. A connector holder is provided for holding the connector in position. A chuck is provided for taking a prepared wire from a storage case. The wire is transferred to a rotator for correcting the rotational angle of the wire and its associated terminal. The wire is gripped by another chuck, which inserts it into the connector.
