  • Patent number: 6993833
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sub-harness comprises the steps of: holding a first connector housing in a guiding device for terminal insertion; holding a second connector housing in a continuity check tool; bringing a terminal at a first end of an electric wire with terminals at the both ends thereof into contact with a touch contact to make a specified light emitter of light emitters in the guiding device emit, said touch contact being connected to the guiding device via a main control device, said touch contact having a curved contact surface; inserting the terminal at the first end into a specified terminal-receiving chamber of terminal-receiving chambers in the first connector housing to bring the terminal at the first end into contact with a specified terminal contact of terminal contacts in the guiding device, said specified chamber being illuminated by said light emitter; and checking continuity between terminals at the first end and at a second end of the electric wire with a continuity check contro

  • Publication number: 20040139605
    Abstract: An apparatus that can perform checking terminal lock in a connector housing securely are provided. The apparatus for checking terminal lock (1) includes a main body (8), a housing set portion (19) so as to be disposed in the main body (8) to move freely in a direction of inserting and extracting a terminal, and push means (6) for pushing the housing set portion (19) in the direction of inserting the terminal. On condition that a connector housing (2) is secured in the housing set portion (19) pushed by push means (6) and the terminal connected with a wire is inserted into the connector housing (2), terminal lock is checked by pulling the wire in a direction of extracting the terminal.
