ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes an electrical connector manufactured in the form of a strip of Micro-connectors stamped from an integral piece having a parallelepipedical body (4) in the shape of a "U" having a bottom portion (5) and two sidewalls capable of being inwardly crimped. The bottom portion (5) is centrally hollowed out and has in the inner ends thereof two sets of small metallic tongues (6, 7, 8) that are spaced apart from each other by contact slots (9, 10) of different sizes. The sidewalls include a positioner rod (11A, 11B) located adjacent to the two legs (16, 17) located on the ends thereof, each of the legs (16, 17) having two cutouts (12, 13, 14, 15) in the shape of a "V." The automated tool for application of the micro-connectors, is unique in that it applies reduced sized connectors. The tool has a wire cut system which cuts the wires on the side ends of the crimper (35) of the application tool (31) so that the wires are arranged side by side after cutting. The tool, additionally, has a wire positioning system which permits the application of micro-connectors in both tapping and splicing situations.
