Abstract
Force is manually applied through a compression spring mechanism to a tool member, which in turn carries the end of an insulated wire that is to be seated between the knives of an insulation displacement type connector. A force transducer is used to measure the spring force within the compression spring mechanism, so that seating of the conductor in the connector can be accomplished without any abrupt impact.
