A modular connector press for terminating different types of connectors to a flat cable includes left and right cable tray assemblies that are mounted for accurately positioning and laterally translating the cable in a first direction transverse to the axial direction of the cable between a loading position for initial positioning of the cable and a termination position where the cable is positioned beneath a press ram. Each tray assembly includes a main body, a cable tray and means for mounting the cable tray to the main body to allow adjustable translation of the cable tray in a second direction transverse to the first direction of translation of the tray assembly means. Each cable tray includes a plurality of connector positioning slots allowing the accurate positioning of terminated connectors of a harness on each cable tray. The left and right tray assemblies can be fastened together to form a two tray unit, each tray of which, with respect to the ram of the press, can be accurately and relatively positioned in the second direction allowing the accurate positioning and termination of a third connector therebetween. The modular press also includes a plurality of different types of interchangeable connector test heads allowing the press to be easily modified to terminate and test a variety of different connectors to a connector harness. |
