ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an improved machine (10) that automatically severs an insulation displacement contact (80) from a carrier strip (90), inserts the contact into an insulating connector housing (210), terminates a wire (242) to the contact (80), and trims the end of the wire flush with the edge of the housing (210). The trimming operation is accomplished during the last part of the contact insertion stroke, after the insulation displacement contact (80) has just begun to engage the wire (242), so that the wire is securely held in place during trimming. A pair of opposite moving slide (126, 132) are utilized where one slide (132) is moved directly by the inserter (28, 260) so that it causes a lever (152) to pivot which in turn moves the other slide (126), carrying the wire trimming blade (192), in the other direction. The lever (152) is arranged so that movement of the one slide (132) results in a greater movement of the other slide (126). Therefore, the movement of the last part of the contact insertion stroke results in a larger movement of the wire trimming blade (192).
