ABSTRACT:
An insertion head (80) for inserting a contact (30) having opposed tines (34--34) into a connector cavity (28) having opposed ribs (49--49) protruding from the inner wall thereof. The insertion head (80) severs a contact (30) from a spine (44) of contact strip (42) and the contact (30) is then moved laterally, away from the strip, to a vertically aligned position above the cavity (28). A punch (128) pushes the contact (30) into the cavity (28) while simultaneously spreading the tines (34--34) apart to straddle the opposed ribs (49--49).
