Abstract
Disclosed is a device for automatically mounting a crimp-style terminal on a connector housing which can have one or more vacant cavities. The mounting device is to be applied in production in which connectors can have varying numbers of terminals. Housings are accurately fed by a plurality of parts feeders and guides. Empty housings and housings with inserted terminals are held, respectively, by separate magazines. Terminals are individually cut off from a terminal hoop and individually set into insertion positions in front of a housing. After all terminals have been set, the terminals are inserted into the cavities all at once.
