ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for mass loading of terminated leads, carried laterally by gripping means on a conveyor, into a single row connector housing. Leads are all gripped a like distance remote from terminated ends, which are carried between guide plates into apparatus. Conveyor pauses while leads are aligned into grooves in a template then captured therein as combs align and capture all but the tips of the terminated ends. A connector housing is then moved onto the terminated ends by a carriage as the combs retract, the gripping means and grooves preventing displacement of leads as insertion force is overcome by the advancing carriage. All mechanical movements other than conveyor are effected by rotation of a single cam shaft.
