ABSTRACT:
A first embodiment of an assembly fixture for locating an electrical connector and a cable with respect to each other for assembly includes adjustable connector locating guides mounted on a base plate and adjustable cable guides mounted on a spring-loaded tiltable cable platform spaced above the base plate. As the cable is forced downwardly into the connector, the cable platform tilts to accommodate the relative motion of the cable with respect to the fixture. After the cable is assembled to the connector, the cable platform returns to its normal horizontal position, partially removing the connector from the connector locating guides. A second embodiment of an assembly fixture includes a connector support which has spaced lands which support the entire area of the connector to prevent breakage of the connector during assembly.
