Abstract
A pressure welding apparatus includes a pressing die assembly which has a plurality of stuffers that pressure-weld electric wires to the pressure-welding parts of contacts , and a comb . The pressing die assembly has a plurality of pins which are located adjacent to the respective stuffers and which are constantly driven downward by springs so that the pins protrude beyond the lower ends of the stuffers . The widths of the respective pins are set so that these widths are substantially equal to the widths of the cavities of the housing in which the contacts 30 are accommodated. As a result, the pins advance into the housing cavities located adjacent to the contact on which pressure-welding is to be performed, and support the housing partition walls from the sides during the pressure welding process.
