ABSTRACT:
A shorting bar (100) for simultaneously terminating a connector (20) to a multi-conductor cable and shorting together terminals 26 of the connector (20). The shorting bar (100) includes a termination edge (150) at an end thereof adjacent the housing (24) and a contact region (180) spaced from the terminating edge (150) a distance similar to a length between an inside floor (25) of the housing (24) and a length of terminals (26) of the connector (20). The contact region (180) is formed from an electrically conducting material. When a terminating force is applied, the shorting bar (100) is displaced toward the housing (24) until the termination edge (150) impacts the inside floor (25) of the housing (24) and terminates the terminals (26) of the connector (20) to the multi-connector cable (C). When the termination edge (150) is in contact with the housing (24), the contact region (180) contacts each of the terminals (26) of the connector (20), shorting the terminals (26) together. A continuity test can then be performed.
