ABSTRACT:
A plurality of terminals are assembled into a housing of an electrical connector. The terminals initially are joined by a carrier strip. The housing has a plurality of terminal-receiving passages along with an insertion slot communicating with and spanning a plurality of the passages. The terminals are inserted into the insertion slot in an insertion direction. The terminals and carrier strip are moved transversely of the insertion direction. The terminals and carrier strip may be moved again generally parallel to the insertion direction until the terminals are positioned in the terminal-receiving passages. The carrier strip is removed from the terminals after the terminals are seated into their passages.
