Abstract: A power supply monitoring apparatus, for which a plurality of different preset reference current values and corresponding permitted times are provided, includes: a cutoff device; current detection circuits; overcurrent detection circuits; an idle-up command circuit; and a low voltage detection circuit. When an overcurrent detection circuit detects a current value equaling or exceeding at least one of the preset reference current values, and when that condition continues for a time equaling or exceeding a permitted time corresponding to the pertinent reference current value, the circuit transmits a command to the cutoff device to interrupt the current supplied to a power feeding path. Further, when the idle-up command circuit detects an increase in a supplied current, an idle-up command is issued.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device for automatically mounting a crimp-style terminal on a connector housing which can have one or more vacant cavities. The mounting device is to be applied in production in which connectors can have varying numbers of terminals. Housings are accurately fed by a plurality of parts feeders and guides. Empty housings and housings with inserted terminals are held, respectively, by separate magazines. Terminals are individually cut off from a terminal hoop and individually set into insertion positions in front of a housing. After all terminals have been set, the terminals are inserted into the cavities all at once.
