Abstract
An ultrasonic welding apparatus adapted to simultaneously weld individual wire ends to individual contacts on a wire connector is disclosed. The apparatus includes an ultrasonic horn having a welding tip attached at one end. An anvil selectively and separately supports the wire ends on the individual wire contacts. A comb is engaged with the anvil for selectively maintaining separation between the adjacent wire ends and the adjacent contacts during ultrasonic welding and for dislodging the wire connector after the wire ends have been welded thereto.
