ABSTRACT:
An improved method for mass termination of pre-stripped flat transmission cable having conductors on closely spaced centers with the connector providing selective programming of grounds within the connector is disclosed. A connector includes three sub-assemblies, namely, a cover, a housing assembly with a plurality of receptacle type contacts and a ground bus mounted therein, and a strain relief member. The present method employs slotted beams to effect a connection between the conductors and grounds of the cable and the terminals and bus bars of the connector. The cable is prepared in a cable stripper to cut the insulation and displace it towards the free end of the cable sufficiently to allow the conductors to be seated in the connector cover. The application tooling then inserts the exposed conductors into the proper alignment slots of the cover while simultaneously trimming them to the correct length. The housing and cover are then assembled to secure the cable in the connector and then the cable folded back upon itself over the cover and a strain relief applied to complete the assembly.
