Abstract
A method and apparatus for attaching electrical contacts (23, 24) to the ends of electrical conductors (50). The method of the invention comprises the steps of providing a plurality of contacts (23, 24) at spaced locations along a flexible strip (22), feeding the strip (22) to an attachment station (14) for delivering contacts (23, 24) to the attachment station (14), attaching a contact (23, 24) to the end of an electrical conductor (50) in the attachment station (14), and separating the attached contact (23, 24) from the stip (22). The contacts (23, 24) are incorporated into contact assemblies (20, 20') which comprise a contact (23, 24) having dielectric insulating member (25) molded therearound and molded integral with the flexible strip (22). After attachment of a contact (23, 24) to a conductor, the attached contact assembly (20, 20') is cut from the strip (22) and the strip (22) is indexed to deliver the next contact assembly (20, 20') to the attachment station (14).
