Abstract
To effect a mechanical and electrical interconnection of high integrity between flat multiconductor cables, a jig system is disclosed wherein a base plate is specifically designed with a plurality of guide pins arranged in a predetermined pattern for locating a plurality of common length connector strips for establishing connections between matching cable conductor pairs. The base plate further includes a plurality of locator pins for precision alignment of 3, 4, or 5 conductor cables for either tap or splice connections with the cables juxtaposed. The cables are in overlying relation to connector strip eyelets at opposite ends of each strip for establishing a connection between a matching conductor pair. A top plate is assembled with tool receiving apertures registrable in alignment with the connector strip eyelets, and an impact tool is driven into each top plate aperture to make connection between the strip and matching conductors only after precision alignment of the strips and cables between the plates is assured.
