ABSTRACT:
An improved connector applicator tool is disclosed for applying multi-contact electrical connectors into flat cables formed of a plurality of closely spaced parallel conductors. The tool is a bench mounted applicator which is adjustable to accommodate preformed multi-conductor flat cables of conventional dimensions and which also has an embodiment which will accommodate a cable formed by a plurality of discrete conductors. The tool includes means to positively clamp the multi-conductor flat cable so as to be properly and accurately aligned with the tooling assembly which applies the connector to the cable. The tooling assembly is adaptable to accommodate a wide range of contact configurations and connector sizes. The actuation of the tool for the application step can be accomplished by manual means or by powered actuation, such as fluid drive means. The discrete conductor embodiment also includes means for effecting a severing of the conductors immediately adjacent the applied connector. The subject assembly tool can be used to apply connectors to terminate cables as well as to create a daisy chain of a plurality of connectors mounted onto a continuous run of cable.
