ABSTRACT The present invention relates to an apparatus for as- sembling contacts into the contact mounting pockets of a ribbon connector. Handling and insertion of the contacts into the connec- tor Pockets is difficult to perform with prior art automated equipment because of jamming problems or damage to the fragile contacts during the loading operation. The present invention overcomes these deficiencies of the prior art by providing an apparatus which includes means for assembling the contacts in proper orientation for insertion into the pockets, means for transferring the contacts for the contact assembly means into an initial mounting position within the pockets, and means for seat- ing and retaining the contacts in a final mounting position within the pockets. The apparatus provides structure to positively con- trol the movement of the contacts throughout the loading operation to thereby minimize jamming or damage to the fragile contacts.
