ABSTRACT:
A modular insertion unit is disclosed for use in an assembly machine for sequentially inserting electrical terminals into respective cavities of connector housings. The assembly machine has a drive means, a control module, an indexing means, and a dereeling mechanism. The modular insertion unit is connected to the machine singly or in groups, on one or both sides of a terminal strip feed path. Each modular insertion unit has a housing adapted to be selectively positioned on the assembly machine and is connected to be driven by the drive means. A terminal feed means portion of the modular insertion unit is actuated by the drive means to feed a strip of terminals from the dereeling mechanism to a severing station within the unit where a terminal is clamped, severed from carrier strips, moved to an insertion position and stuffed into a respective cavity of a connector housing. The housing is indexed with respect to the stuffing station until all cavities thereof are filled.
