ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for arranging cable, and particularly to a method for soldering a plurality of wires of a cable to corresponding terminals of an electrical connector.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
As the development of technology continues to advance, electrical devices are designed to have an increasing number of functions. Electrical signal transmission is generally conducted through a cable and corresponding electrical connector. Thus, arranging the cable with the electrical connector is an important consideration for designers. In a conventional design, the cable is manually cut a predetermined length. An insulative covering is removed then a plurality of wires exposed, each wire comprises an inner conduct which is to be soldered to corresponding terminal of the connector. However, the cable comprises a plurality of wires in no particular order whereby properly positioning each wire with respect to the corresponding terminals becomes complicated. Since the positioning is performed manually, this results in high manufacturing costs and low efficiency. Furthermore, quality can not be accurately controlled during the manufacturing process. Thus, there is a need to improve the conventional method of assembling a cable to a connector.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A main object of the present invention is to provide a method for properly arranging a plurality of wires for soldering to corresponding terminals of an electrical connector.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a cable device for soldering a plurality of wires to corresponding terminals of a connector.
To fulfill the above-mentioned objects, a melting mold used for arranging cable wires comprises a first base, a second base and two heating plates. The first and second bases each define a pair of grooves for engaging with corresponding flanges formed on a rear face of the heating plates. A plurality of receiving slots is formed on a mating face of each heating plate for receiving the corresponding wires of the cable. Each receiving slot is separated from each other a certain distance which is equal to the distance between each terminal of a connector. The wires are positioned within individual receiving slots for contacting the corresponding terminals according to the different color codes of the insulative layers.
Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
