The jig includes holding frames which can be easily substituted. The guiding and holding jig comprises linear links to which holding frames, which support the connector at a position spaced outwardly from the bodies of the links, are removably attached and hinge members pivotally connecting the linear links to each other. The jig retracts and extends the connector without causing sharp bends while holding it in the holding frames as the pull-out unit is moved in or out. In cases there are a large number of connectors, large holding frames are used.
