ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for attaching single piece connectors to the conductors of a flat, multiconductor cable is disclosed, in which a plurality of single piece connector feed assembly stations is provided, along with a notching station for removing insulating strips between adjacent conductors of the cable at that portion of the cable to be prepared to receive a single piece connector. A marking station is also disclosed for placing an identifiable mark on the cable, which in one form of the invention is accomplished by spraying ink onto a portion of cable length having connectors attached, and in another embodiment of the invention by applying pressure sensitive tape. Each connector feed assembly station for attaching single piece connectors includes a ramming piston which supports a single piece connector to be attached to a cable portion, and a diametrically opposed crimping piston, which has a plurality of crimping fingers projecting from its forward end, which crimping fingers force conductors into the contact wells of the single piece connector supported in the ramming piston when the conductors of a cable portion are positioned between the two pistons.
