ABSTRACT Of THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to the termination of conductors in insulation-piercing portions of contacts of an electrical connector. Prior art devices of this type will handle only one wire at a time and often require separate mechanisms to insert the wire in a contact and to set the wire insulation in a strain relief. The present invention solves these problems and others by providing an apparatus for inserting a plurality of insulated conductors in respective insulation piercing portions of contacts of an electrical device which employs an electri- cally operable programmer for selectively controlling movement of a carriage along the electrical device, for example an electrical connector, and for controlling the insertion of conductors on each side of the device. The carriage is mounted for movement along the connector and is selectively programmed to stop at rest insertion positions at which insertion tools are operated to insert and terminate the conductors. The conductors are moved in the general direction of the insulation piercing portions of the contacts, manually and under tension, and are received by guide means which accurately align and position the conductors adjacent the respective contact portions. Each insertion tool includes two blades which are movable together toward the electrical connector. One of the blades normally extends beyond the other to slightly pre-insert a portion of a conductor into a strain relief member adjacent the contact portion prior to cutting and insertion of the conductor into the insulation piercing contact portion.
