ABSTRACT:
An electronic connector assembly in which multiple fine gage, closely spaced ground and signal wires of a matched impedance flat cable are gang terminated on centers by an improved crimp design and method. Each of the many wires in the cable is mechanically crimped by an applicator tooling into a contact which is narrow and thin enough to enable all of the wires to be terminated on the same close centers they have in the cable. The wire contacts can be made with great precision from uniform flat metal stock having the necessary narrowness, thinness, hardness and strength to serve also as high performance output spring terminals for the connector. The metal stock does not have to be as thick as the diameter of the wires to be terminated.
