ABSTRACT:
A tool for connecting a cable, particularly a flat cable, to a cable connector, particularly to a flat cable connector or the like. The known termination tools often have relatively complicated adjusting mechanisms for centering the cable connector in relation to the center of the press and for adjusting the working height for the various types of connectors. Finally, with the known tools, there is no possibility of visually monitoring the alignment of the cable conductors with the terminals during the mounting process. The present tool permits a cable connector, regardless of its total length or the number of contacts, to be automatically positioned precisely under the center of the press die by the action of pairs of symmetrically positioned ribs having sloping engagement surfaces. The tool also permits the vertical positioning of cable connectors of different total structural heights by simply reversing the orientation of the connector support. Finally, the tool offers the possibility of visually monitoring the positioning of the conductors during the mounting process through an optical prism.
