Abstract
A method and apparatus for terminating multi-conductor flat flexible cable is disclosed. The connector assembly includes a clamp member which initially engages a multi-conductor flat cable and drives the conductors thereof to the desired spacing, which conforms to the fixed spacing of the terminals in a connector housing member. The clamped cable is then engaged with the terminal carrying housing member of the connector assembly to effect an insulation displacing engagement of the terminal with their respective conductors.
