Abstract
A cable harness assembly fixture having a crimping station and an elongate base plate movable with respect to the crimping station. A pair of spaced, parallel, locator support rails on the base plate are movable transversely of the base plate to vary the spacing between them and may be retained at selected spacings. A plurality of connector locators are supported on each of the locator support rails, are slidable along the rails and are securable to the rails. The connector locators are formed such that with the support rails set at a predetermined spacing two connector locators positioned in opposition, one on each of the supports reels, will engage and position the body of the cable connector on the base plate and will align the cable with the connector body.
