Abstract
Cable lengths are prepared for extruding a plug at the end in that the lengths are stepwise moved through stations, in which each cable length is turned and oriented as to its leads; the lead ends are stripped, tinplated and shaped in sequential stations followed by connecting preassembled contact prongs to the lead ends. The plug body is then extruded around the prong-lead connections. The lead orientation is electro-optically servo-controlled and the prong to lead connection is made by a funnel for threading the leads into the hollow prongs followed by squeezing the prongs to fasten the leads thereto.
