Abstract
Clamp for use with an apparatus which connects insulated wires of an electrical cable to a multi-row electrical connector by incrementally moving a connector holder relative to a stationary wire insertion mechanism. The clamp is pivotably linked by a pair of arms to one end of a slide which has a holder for the electrical connector at the other end, so that incremental movement of the holder causes corresponding incremental movement of the clamp. The clamp position is adjustable to orient the cable either perpendicular or parallel to the direction of movement of connector holder, and the clamp moves either perpendicular or parallel to the direction of movement, so that the cable projects either perpendicular or parallel to the connector when all the wires are connected.
