<p>There is disclosed herein an improved machine for applying electrical connectors to electrically conductive cable, such as multi-conductor flat cable. The machine includes a pair of opposed tool members, each of which includes a shelf-like recess for receiving a connector portion. The cable is positioned between the tool members which are advanced toward each other for staking the connector body portion to the cable and receiving the connector cap to the connector body, and thus securing the connector to the cable. In each tool member the shelf-like recess is formed from a shelf which is slidably mounted to the tool member and biased to an outward position. When the shelf engages the cable and other tool member, it retracts and the tool member urges the connector onto the cable. Upon retraction of the tool member, the shelf is biased to its extended position.</p> |
