ABSTRACT:
A hand operated tool for assembling electrical cables to an electrical connector which has a cable clamp for clamping a cable in position for termination with conductive contact means on the connector. A connector is properly located in position for receiving an electrical cable, and a pair of jaw members is mounted on the apparatus for movement in a transverse direction toward and away from the connector to engage and crimp the cable clamp onto the cable and provide strain relief therefor. A single hand lever is mounted for pivotal movement in a front-to-rear direction generally perpendicular to the direction of movement of the jaw members. A motion transmitting mechanism is operatively associated between the hand lever and the jaw members for moving the jaw members in response to pivotal movement of the hand lever. The motion transmitting mechanism includes a cam member, having a cam ramp, fixed to the inner end of the hand lever, and a roller-type cam follower operatively associated with one of the clamping jaw members. The jaw members are interconnected by gear segments for conjoint movement thereof in unison toward and away from the connector and its cable clamp.
