Abstract: The invention relates to a process and to an apparatus for assembling an electrical connector onto two electric wires. The electrical connector is formed from a sheet metal stamping part, having a contact portion and a claw portion, the claw portion having insulation and strand claws, in which two electric lines are each insulated in an end portions, the end portion being arranged adjacent to one another so that the end portions are crimped in the insulation and strand claws. The connectors are arranged in the form of a band in which the connectors are connected together by stamping strips, and the lines are fed adjacent to one another to a crimping tool. The first connector of the band to be crimped and the ends of the lines are positioned under the crimping tool, thereupon--simultaneously during the crimping process--the crimped connector is separated from the band, and the claws of the following connector in the band are opened up.
