ABSTRACT A fixture for locating the conductors of a multi- conductor flat, flexible cable relative to a multi-contact electrical connector prior to the simultaneous connection of each contact to an individual conductor of the cable includes a clamping bar having a surface adapted to extend across the width of the cable. Side-by-side parallel flutes extend across the surface the flutes being spaced apart a predetermined distance on centre lines which extend normally of the surface. Each flute has a centre of curvature and the centres of curvature of alternate flutes are offset with respect to the centres of curvature of the remaining flutes. When the clamping bar co-operates with a support surface of the fixture to clamp the cable to the support surface, the conductors of the cable assume a zig-zag array as seen in transverse cross-section. The clamping bar and the support surface form part of a cable support which is attached to but capable of limited move- ment towards and away from a surface of a connector support. When pressure is applied to the cable support a cable will be moved relatively-towards the surface of the electrical connector from which extend a plurality of electrical contacts. Conductor receiving portions of the contacts penetrate simultaneously and cable and establish electrical contact with the conductors.
