ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for attaching each of a successive pair of wires (12) to each of a pair of contacts (13), seated in opposed recesses (14) in a connector (16). The apparatus comprises a base (18) on which a connector-carrying carriage (26) is slidably mounted for movement along an axis (24). Each of a pair of ram assemblies (32) is mounted on opposite sides of the path of travel of the carriage (26). Adjacent to each ram assembly (32) is a wire guide (58) which has an upwardly inclined pin (74) which provides a path for pulling a wire into alignment with a separate one of the ram assemblies (32). Once aligned with the ram assemblies, the wires (12) are then rammed by the ram assemblies against the corresponding contacts (13).
