Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for making contact with a multipole female strip connector for plug connections with coaxial connecting cables. In order to simplify the method and to save tools, a multi-row female strip connector is split into plastic disks, one side of the disk having insulation-piercing terminals which are arranged one behind the other and are connected to contact springs, and the other side having correspondingly formed, overmolded pressure pieces. The disks are held spaced apart in a pressing tool by means of corresponding press-in pins which have a force fit. Coaxial connecting cables, which are cut to length and at whose free ends the outer insulation and the shield mesh have been removed over a predetermined length, are pushed into these disks, which are preassembled spaced apart. When the disks are pressed together, the pressure pieces press the connecting wires into the insulation-piercing terminal.
