Connector loading device

A method comprising:

• receiving a connector in a receptacle of a connector loading device, the receptacle comprising a first plurality of holes that are configured to respectively line up with a second plurality of holes in the connector when the connector is inserted in the receptacle wherein each one of the first plurality of holes has a corresponding index and has a corresponding light source configured to cause light to illuminate from the hole;
• receiving an index of a wire being installed in the connector;
• and
• causing light to illuminate from a hole of the first plurality of holes in the receptacle, wherein the illuminated hole corresponds to the index of the wire being installed in the connector.

A system comprising:

• a first receptacle comprising a first plurality of holes wherein the first plurality of holes are configured to line up with a second plurality of holes in a first connector when the first connector is inserted in the first receptacle wherein each one of the first plurality of holes comprises a respective and corresponding one of a plurality of unique indexes;
• a second receptacle comprising a third plurality of holes wherein the third plurality of holes are configured to line up with a fourth plurality of holes in a second connector when the second connector is inserted in the second receptacle wherein each one of the third plurality of holes comprises a respective and corresponding one of the plurality of unique indexes;
• a plurality of light sources respectively corresponding to the first plurality of holes and the third plurality of holes wherein each one of the plurality of light sources, when initiated, is configured to illuminate light from a bottom of its respective one of the first plurality of holes through a top of its respective one of the first plurality of holes and is configured to illuminate light from a bottom of its respective one of the third plurality of holes through a top of its respective one of the third plurality of holes;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• receive an input indicating an index corresponding to one of the first plurality of holes or one of the third plurality of holes, and
• initiate a one of the plurality of light sources corresponding to the index.
