ABSTRACT:
A termination tool is disclosed for assembling electrical cables, such as ribbon cables or the like, to an electrical connector which has receptacle means for receiving a cable in electrical termination with conductive contacts on the connector. The tool includes a base having a locator portion for properly locating a connector in position for receiving an electrical cable. A pair of spaced opposed clamping jaws are pivotally mounted on the base on opposite sides of the connector locator for movement toward and away from each other to engage a properly positioned connector to hold the connector in position during a termination operation. The clamping jaws are spring loaded and biased outwardly toward inoperative positions whereby a connector can be easily located therebetween. A reciprocally mounted stuffer means is mounted on the tool for movement toward and away from the base and locator means to drive a cable into the receptacle means of the connector. The stuffer means includes a driving portion for effecting driving of the cable into the receptacle means of the connector and a pair of spaced apart cam portions on opposite sides of the driving portion, the cam portions being canted relative to the direction of movement of the stuffer means for engaging the clamping jaws to move the jaws toward one another into engagement with opposite sides of a properly located connector.
