ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed herein an apparatus for applying electrical connector sections to a flat multiconductor cable. The apparatus includes a multiconductor cable, and a connector station which includes two connector applying sections. Each section includes a connector supplying magazine or feed for delivering a connector section from the supply magazine to tooling which receives the connector section. Air cylinders advance the tooling to the cable for securement of the connectors thereto and retract the tooling from the connector receiving position. A pair of outlet valves are associated with each pneumatic cylinder and air discharge lines extend between one of the valves and the connector termination position and the other of the valves and the connector magazine feed for selectively discharging air into the magazine as the tooling is extended and for discharging air toward the connector termination position as the valving is retracted so as to enhance free movement of the connector sections in the magazine and release the connectors from the tooling at the connector terminating position.
