APERFEICOAMENTO EM CONJUNTO DE PLUGUE E APERFEICOAMENTO EM PROCESSO DE PRODUZIR UM CONJUNTO DE PLUGUE

摘要

A shielded plug assembly (12) for mating a shielded multiconductor cable assembly (14) to a shielded receptacle connector (16) employs a unitary molded wire positioning member (108) (see Fig. 2) to position and secure the conductors (48) (Fig. 4) prior to and during insertion of the wire positioning member into the plug assembly housing (56). The conductors (48) are cut after being positioned within the member (108) a portion of the wire positioning member being deformed to securely hold the conductors therein. When the plug assembly (12) is terminated to the conductors (48) camming operation of the wire positioning member (108) and the housing (56) moves the conductor ends within the housing (56) to assure alignment with corresponding insulation penetrating type terminals (60).
