ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to an apparatus for terminating conductors in electrical connectors and, more particularly, to a device which facilitates simultaneous trimming and insertion of insulated conductors in multiple contact electrical connectors. While prior art termination tools for mounting conductors in small electrical connectors have met with some success, there are disadvantage associated with their manufacture and use which have limited their acceptance. For example, since the insertion tool, Itself, moves through an arc in effecting the termination of the conductors, is is not possible to achieve precise uniformity of termination force across the entire row of contacts In the connector. Moreover, the desired parallel relationship of the insertion tools as the rotatable arms reach the termina- ting position cannot be achieved for differently sized female and male connectors. In accordance with the present invention, an apparatus Is provided which terminates a plurality of insulated conductors with a high degree of precision of uniformity in each of the contacts of a multiple contact electrical connector. The apparatus Includes means for mounting a connector In conductor receiving position, means for aligning the conductors adjacent individual contacts of the connector, and means for positioning the insertion tool adjacent the contacts. The insertion tool is movable in a non-arcuate path substantially perpendicular to the planes defined by the contacts of the connector. The apparatus will accommodate connectors of different transverse dimentions without the necessity of any adjustment and includes uniquely configured conductor aligning means which enhance and facilitate the terminating operations.
