ABSTRACT:
A machine is disclosed for mass insertion of multiple terminals into preformed passageways in housings, printed circuit boards or the like. The terminals each have one end detachably secured to a flexible carrier strip and are transported to the insertion station thereby. The machine grips large groups of the terminal in the insertion station, removes them from the carrier strip, and inserts the terminals into the preformed passageways in a housing, printed circuit board, or the like. The terminals are carried and inserted in two parallel spaced rows, with the alignment therebetween being insured by a shuttle which is placed between the rows of terminals at the insertion station. The group of terminals to be inserted is grasped by jaw members and held against the shuttle during the insertion movement. The jaws then release the terminals and return the shuttle to its original position. The subject machine can be used in a single head or in multiple head embodiments to selectively insert groups of terminals to achieve the desired total number of terminals inserted in any one fixture.
