摘要： A connector processing machine includes a contact feeding mechanism at a contact loading station having a dereeler configured to support a contact reel having a strip of contacts and a feed device configured to feed the contacts from the contact loading station to a contact stacking station. The connector processing machine includes a contact stacking module at a contact stacking station having a contact punch mechanism with a contact cutter configured to successively shear the contacts from the contact strip and a contact inserter mechanism with a contact pusher configured to successively move the sheared contact into a contact nest where the contacts are stacked into a contact stack. The connector processing machine includes a contact manipulator configured to pick the contact stack from the contact nest and place the contact stack into a connector housing.
