Method for inserting a terminal of an electrical wire

A method for inserting a terminal of an electric wire into a terminal accommodating chamber of a connector housing, comprising the steps of in the sequence set forth:

• (a) movably holding said connector housing;
• (b) holding said terminal and said electric wire;
• (c) inserting an end of said terminal into said terminal accommodating chamber;
• (d) in a state where said terminal end has been inserted into said terminal accommodating chamber, moving said connector housing by an amount of movement predetermined such that said terminal is not caught by a protrusion formed on an inner surface of said terminal accommodating chamber;
• and
• (e) inserting said terminal completely into said terminal accommodating chamber;
• wherein information indicative of said amount of movement for said connector in insertion of said terminal into said terminal accommodating chamber is stored in a control unit, and said connector housing is moved by said amount of movement;
• and
• wherein information indicative of a part number of said connector housing is entered by an input device into said control unit, and said connector housing having the part number entered by said input device is moved by said amount of movement.

A method for inserting a terminal of an electric wire into a terminal accommodating chamber of a connector housing, comprising the steps in the sequence set forth:

• (a) movably holding said connector housing;
• (b) holding said terminal and said electric wire;
• (c) inserting an end of said terminal longitudinally into said terminal accommodating chamber;
• (d) in a state where said terminal end has been inserted into said terminal accommodating chamber, moving said connector housing horizontally and vertically relative to said terminal end by an amount of movement predetermined such that said terminal is not caught by a protrusion formed on an inner surface of said terminal accommodating chamber;
• and
• (e) inserting said terminal longitudinally and completely into said terminal accommodating chamber, wherein
• information indicative of a part number of said connector housing is entered by an input device into a control unit, and said connector housing having the part number entered by said input device is moved by said amount of movement.
