Abstract
An apparatus for terminating conductors of a ribbon cable to a dielectric housing has a movable frame member and a stationary frame member. The movable frame member has a laminated subassembly and a staking block provided thereon. A support member is positioned on the movable frame member and is movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the support member cooperates with the staking block to insure that the staking block is not movable relative to the movable frame member. This allows the staking block to coin or deform top walls of recesses of the dielectric housing. Alternatively, when the support member is in the second position, the support member does not cooperate with the staking block, thereby allowing the staking block to move relative to the movable frame.
