ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for assembling an electrical connector housing (15) and a conductor mounting comb (41) comprising a pair of clamping mechanisms (14, 27) for clasping the housing (15) and comb (41) which mechanisms are brought together by a press (10) to force the housing (15) about the prewired comb (41). The conductors (52) are arranged in the comb (41) which in turn is supported between two fixed jaws (28, 29) of a lower clamping mechanism (27), the conductors (52) being arranged in slots (54) of one jaw (28). The housing (15) is clasped between two jaws (16, 17) of an upper clamping mechanism (14), one of which terminates in a blade (21), the blade (21) rising to a conductor folding ramp (22). As the press is operated, the upper mechanism (14) moves downward, the blade (21) cooperating with a second blade (33) on a lower jaw (28) to trim the conductor (52) ends. The latter ends are folded about the comb (41) by the ramp (22) as the downward movement continues, which movement is completed as the conductors (52) make electrical contact with corresponding insulation piercing terminals retained by the housing (15).
