Abstract: A device for connecting a flat cable to a wiring board in which the cable is composed of a plurality of layers. A first insulating layer carries a shield foil layer upon which a central insulation layer is placed. A plurality of conductors, parallel to each other and spaced apart transversely, are on the central layer and, in turn, are covered by a second insulating layer. The cable has a connecting end wherein the first layer and second layer are absent, thus exposing portions of the conductors and the shield layer for making contact with the device.The device itself is made up of a housing containing a series of cavities which correspond to the conductors. Each cavity contains a fixed terminal. The terminals project out of the cavities and contact the wiring board. The other ends of the contacts have a pressing element and a terminal contact.

Abstract: A cable connector combination wherein the cable has an electrically conductive core and an extra-thick insulating sheath. There is a terminal fitting which includes a wire barrel and an insulator barrel. The former grips the exposed length of bare wire core and the latter grips a reduced diameter portion of the sheath. The exposed length is formed by stripping the insulation completely from one end, and the reduced diameter portion of the sheath is formed by stripping part of the insulation from the cable, preferably at a point adjacent the exposed length. The reduced diameter is the same as the outer diameter of a normal sized cable and, therefore, bill fit easily and readily into the standard insulator barrel. Thus, no special fittings are required, and the abrasion-resistant cables can be handled along with all of the others. An apparatus for carrying out the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: Terminals of a wire harness are sorted for each contact of a unit structure to which the terminals are to be connected. The sorted terminals are temporarily held by a jig in a configuration which matches the arrangement in which they are to be connected to the corresponding contacts. The terminals are arranged in rows in the proper connection arrangement, and are transferred to the contacts and connected in this state. A retainer is then placed in the unit structure containing the connected terminals, thereby holding them in place. It is consequently possible to reduce the frequency of erroneous insertion, and to improve operating performance markedly.

Abstract: This invention aims to provide a package of a terminal series strip which can make full use of the last terminal metal fixture 11 on a leading end of a terminal series strip 10 wound around a bobbin 14 as a package. The leading end of the terminal series strip 10 is connected through an auxiliary strap 17 to the bobbin 14. Even if the leading end is paid out from the bobbin 14 after the terminal series strip 10 has been almost paid out from the bobbin 14, the auxiliary strap 17 is maintained to be connected to the bobbin 14. Thus, the terminal series strip 10 can be maintained to be hung between the bobbin 14 and a crimping apparatus until the last terminal metal fixture 11 on the terminal series strip 10 is press-worked.
