ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed for terminating flexible flat electrical cable, including means for transposing selected pairs of adjacent conductors into a vertical orientation for subsequent common termination in a single terminal slot. The transposing means includes conductor pushing blades each of generally inverted U-shaped profile having outwardly divergent bottom surfaces, and a template having profiled channels therein defined by inwardly convergent sidewalls of a prescribed angled configuration. The cable is positioned above the template, and upon downward actuation of the conductor pushing blades against the selected pairs of adjacent conductors, said conductors are made to rotate into a vertical orientation while proceeding deeper into the profiled template channels. A combing member is further disclosed for preorientation of the selected conductor pairs prior to their insertion into the template.
