Abstract
Fixture for supporting an electrical connector and positioning wires in spaced relationship to the connector in preparation for insertion of the wires into the connector comprises a channel-shaped frame member having a web and sidewalls. The external surface of the web serves as a supporting surface for the mating end of the connector. First and second connector clamping means are mounted against the external surfaces of the sidewalls of the frame and clamp the connector in a predetermined position. The clamping means extend above the external surface of the web and have aligned wire positioning slots in their free ends which position the wires in alignment with the connector. The fixture is intended for use with a tool which can be latched to the fixture and which, upon actuation, trims the wires and inserts them into the connector.
