Abstract: A connector press provides for learning a specified connector pressed position, adjusting a force based threshold, and simultaneously pressing multiple connector types into a circuit board. The force based threshold may be adjusted via a slider bar on a user interface. The specified pressed position may be learned by measuring and storing a position or force value, upon the user causing the press to press the connector into a circuit board. A total force based threshold may be determined in order to simultaneously press multiple connector types. The total force based threshold may be based upon quantities and pressing forces of each of the connectors types. Further, the press may provide near capacity pressing force, even with an asymmetrical load, by including linear guides.

Abstract: An electrical connector housing cutting apparatus comprising a guide and a rotating cutting member. The guide is adapted to slidably support an electrical connector housing along a linear movement path. The rotating cutting member is movable into and out of the movement path. The cutting member has an axis of rotation generally parallel to a direction of movement of the electrical connector housing along the movement path.
