Abstract

An apparatus for use in attaching multi-conductor flat cable to an electrical connector having conductor receiving portions facing in opposite directions is disclosed. The apparatus employs a movable ram which moves through multiple strokes to perform all of the necessary steps. A movable connector holder is utilized so that cables may be attached to opposite faces of the connector by using only a single movable ram.
