A method for connecting the wires of a high density, flat transmission cable to a connector is provided. A crimp connector (10) for facilitating the practice of the method is also provided. The connector includes one or more rows of contacts mounted thereto. Each contact (26) includes a crimp section (30) extending from the connector housing. The crimp sections are plated with a relatively thick layer of solder. After stripping the end of the cable, selected cable conductors are inserted within the crimp sections. A batch crimping operation secures the conductors to the contacts, after which the crimp sections are heated to fuse the solder. Once the solder has cooled, a reliable connection will be established between the cable and connector. A solder-plated bus bar (38) may also be secured to selected cable conductors by preliminarily mounting the conductors thereto and then heating the bus bar. |
