ABSTRACT:
Wire insertion apparatus for inserting wires in a flat cable into cavities of an electrical connector comprises a connector jig and a wire locating jig adjacent to the connector jig. The wire locating jig comprises a stack of side-by-side cable spreading and wire locating fingers. The cable, having its wires on closely spaced centers, is located adjacent to the connector and the stack of fingers is moved relatively towards the cable. The free ends of the fingers move relatively between the wires of the cable and spread the wires until they are in alignment with the cavities in the connector. Thereafter, the wires can be pushed into the cavities and inserted into slots in the terminals in the connector.
