Electrical connector application tool

摘要

A tool for terminating an electrical cable by applying to the cable a connector assembly which includes a housing and an insert received in snap-in assembly within the housing. The insert maintains bare end portions of individually insulated conductors which comprise the cable in electrically contacting engagement with spring contacts within the housing and retains the cable in assembled relation to the connector assembly. The tool has an elongated body with wire insulation strippers at opposite ends thereof for preparing an end portion of a cable. A recess in the body intermediate the wire strippers receives a partially assembled connector assembly and facilitates movement of the insert thereof into snap-in engagement with the connector assembly using a screw driver or the like in conjunction with the tool to apply prying force to the partially assembled connector assembly.
