VERFAHREN UND VERBINDER ZUM ANSCHLIESSEN EINES BIEGSAMEN ELEKTRISCHEN FLACHKABELS

This disclosure relates to a flat cable connector having miniature electrical contacts provided with closely spaced thin plates defining therebetween lengthy passageways for receiving closely spaced conductors of the flat cable. The edge margins of the plates are strengthened by coining, which also diagonally projects the edge margins inwardly toward the passageways to provide wire gripping jaws. The disclosure relates also to a method for assembling the cable to the connector whereby the conductors are successfully aligned and relocated, if necessary, in proper registration with the electrical contacts prior to insertion of the conductors in the contacts.
