ABSTRACT:
Terminals of a wire harness are sorted for each contact of a unit structure to which the terminals are to be connected. The sorted terminals are temporarily held by a jig in a configuration which matches the arrangement in which they are to be connected to the corresponding contacts. The terminals are arranged in rows in the proper connection arrangement, and are transferred to the contacts and connected in this state. A retainer is then placed in the unit structure containing the connected terminals, thereby holding them in place. It is consequently possible to reduce the frequency of erroneous insertion, and to improve operating performance markedly.
