ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (60) is disclosed for accurately aligning and terminating conductors (4) of a flat multiconductor cable (2) to terminals (26) of a connector (18). This apparatus (60) is particularly suited for use with cables (2 ) that have closely spaced conductors (4). To ensure proper termination, the apparatus (60) forces the individual conductors (4) into respective grooves (38) of the cover (22) of the connector (18). These grooves (38) are molded in the cover (22) and are therefore, more accurately positioned than the extruded conductors (4). With the conductors (4) maintained in their resepctive grooves (38), the termination process is completed. This ensures that a positive electrical connection is effected between the connector (18) and the cable (2), even when the cable (2) has a nominal spacing between adjacent conductors (4) of 0.025 inches or less.
