ABSTRACT:
A joiner capable of joining two terminal strip segments together in a consistent manner which permits the joiner to be automatically detected against a background of a continuous strip of terminals by a terminal insertion machine has two identical, hermaphroditic joiner halves. Each joiner half has an optically detectable solid body, means for engaging a terminal strip segment, and means for securely grasping another joiner half. Two terminal strip segments can be joined with the joiner by engaging an end of a first terminal strip segment with a means for engaging a terminal strip segment on a first joiner half, while engaging an end of a second terminal strip segment with a means for engaging a terminal strip segment on a second joiner half. A joint is formed between the first and second terminal strip segments by securely grasping the first and second joiner halves together.
