The tool is a bench mounted applicator which is adjustable to accommodate preformed multi-conductor flat cables of conventional dimensions and which also will allow sequential application of connectors to form a daisy chain cable. The applicator tool includes means to positively clamp the multi-conductor flat cable so as to be properly and accurately aligned with the tooling assembly, which applies the connector to the cable, and to ensure that the cable will stay in place during the application step. The tooling assembly is adaptable to accommodate a wide range of terminal configurations and connector sizes.
