ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for terminating multi-conductor flat flexible cable while assuring that the conductors of the cable are on correct centerlines for proper termination. The termination is effected by inserting the cable into a connector having three members, namely, a terminal carrying member, and a pair of cable clamping members. The three members are juxtapositioned with respect to one another and the termination is accomplished with a single terminating stroke which accomplishes a sequential operation to first clamp the cable and then terminate the individual conductors thereof by engaging the conductors with individual insulation displacing terminals. The assembly is held in the terminated condition by both the interaction of the terminals with the members and portions of the assembled members with each other.
