ABSTRACT:
A machine (40) is disclosed for inserting discrete wires (100) of a cable (98) into insulation displacement contacts (20, 22) of a connector (10) having two mutually offset rows (16, 18) of contacts on the same side of the connector. The machine (40) includes first and second side by side insertion blades (238, 240) and a connector holder (48) that positions the connector to be terminated with respect to the two insertion blades. The first insertion blade (238) inserts wires into insulation displacement contacts (20) of the first row (16) of contacts and the second insertion blade (240) inserts wires in the contacts (22) of the second row (18) of contacts. A movable carriage (46) incrementally moves the connector holder (48) so that each of the contacts in the two rows are alternately positioned in alignment with their respective insertion blades for insertion of the wires. A wire guide member (204) is provided that temporarily deflects an already inserted wire (360) of the second row (18) to one side while inserting a wire (362) in the next adjacent contact (20") of the first row (16).
