ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (44) for automatically inserting contact fingers (26) on an edge connector (14) into corresponding apertures (28) in a backplane (10) comprises a nest assembly (77) rotatably mounted to an end (74) of a transfer slide (73). The transfer slide (73) is mounted for movement along a path underlying a rotatable, multi-sided carousel (68), storing a stack of edge connectors on each side thereof, and a ram (49) overlying the backplane. When the transfer slide (73) is displaced to a side of the carousel (68), the nest assembly (77) will engage an endmost edge connector (14) stored on the carousel side. Upon displacement of the transfer slide (73) to the ram (49), the nest assembly (77) rotates to position the contact fingers (26) of the engaged edge connector for insertion in the apertures (28). The ram is then actuated to force the edge connector from the nest assembly towards the backplane to drive the contact fingers into the apertures.
