ABSTRACT An electrical cable harness includes a flat multi- conductor ribbon cable with a plurality of spaced-apart electrical conductors having a common insulating covering forming web portions between adjacent conductors, electrically connected to an elec- trical connector having a plurality of insulation displacing terminals. The harness is made by apparatus including a connector loading station whereat a connector is initially positioned, a termination station spaced from said loading station whereat a connector is terminated to the cable, and means for moving said connector from said loading station to said termination station. A cable end is presented to the termination station so that the conductors are aligned with the terminals, and a termination head is provided for engaging the end of the cable and mass inserting said conductors in said terminals. The termination head comprises an alternating sequence or conductor insertion blades and web splitting blades mounted for simultaneous movement. The conductor insertion blades are aligned with conductors of the cable end, and the web splitting blades aligned with web portions of the cable, whereby upon downward movement of the termination head the conduc- tor insertion and web splitting blades simultaneously engage the conductors and web portions, respectively, to insert the conductors into the insulation displacing terminals.
