Abstract: A method and components for retrofitting non-filtered plug-in connectors with filters. For this purpose, an internal thread is cut into the rear housing portion (8) of a type of plug whose housing (2) has a larger diameter at the rear than at the front. Then a filter element (capillary capacitor 16) is pushed onto the connecting pin (10) of the contact element (4) and over it a perforated metal grounding sheet (12) and the arrangement is fastened in the housing (2) by means of a threaded ring (14). Finally, the metal grounding sheet (12) is soldered to the outer coating of the capillary capacitor (16) and the inner coating of the latter is soldered to the connecting pin (10).

Abstract: A wire harness manufactured by a new method and a new apparatus is provided. A covered wire paid out from a selected one of reels is extended in a predetermined lay-out and fixed. The thus fixed wire is cut-off from the reel. Then, another wire is paid out from another reel for arranging it in a juxtaposing relation to the previously laid-out wire and cut off from the reel. After repeating the above steps, the arranged wires are tied up to form a wire harness. There is also provided a device which puts the above method into practice, thereby reducing complicated assorting work involved in the manufacture of a wire harness. A method and a device for automatically uncovering end portions of each wire of the wire harness and attaching terminals thereto are also provided to greatly increasing the productivity.
