Multiconductor electrical cable terminations and methods and apparatus for making same.

摘要

Cables (20) having interspersed co-planar signal and ground wires (22,24) in an insulating sheath (26) are terminated at a planar circuit board (40) by stripping back the insulation to expose the wires and by stapling the cable to the circuit board with a bus member (60). The signal wires (22) are soldered to signal wire termination sites (42) on the circuit board downstream from the bus member (60). The ground wires (24) are folded back over the bus member (60) and soldered thereto.
