ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to a method and to a preferred fixture, for aligning and bonding a plurality of discrete insulation jacketed conductors to facilitate handling and insertion of the conductors into an electrical connector housing to be electrically terminated therein. The method comprises the steps of selecting plural discrete insulation jacketed conductors arranged in at least two different planes, arranging and aligning the ends of plural conductors in side-by-side fashion in a common plane on a fixture, and bonding the insulation jackets of adjacent wire ends to form a unitary ribbon type cable for ease of handling and termination. A preferred bonding procedure is by the application of localized heat to the wire ends to effect a melting and bonding of the insulation jackets.
