ABSTRACT:
A field termination tool for electrical connectors includes laterally floating combs having edges which engage respective longitudinal slots on each side of an electrical connector to define a reference plane, the connector being urged toward the reference plane by a wave or blade spring carried on the connector support. The insertion tool is constructed to force insulated conductors into respective insulation piercing portions of connector contacts equally well for different connector widths by apparatus for positioning one of a pair of oppositely directed rotatable insertion arms with respect to the other and to the connector support and by providing a floating support structure to equalize forces across a connector. The comb slots each have a cutting edge which is cooperable in a scissor action with the cutting edges of the insertion blades carried on the insertion arms to cut the conductors immediately prior to insertion. The insertion arms are forced perpendicular to their planes of rotation to prevent parting of the cutting edges during the cutting operation.
