Finished mass terminated end for a miniature coaxial ribbon cable and

Abstract

The finished mass terminated end for a miniature coaxial ribbon cable is comprised of coaxial ribbon cable having an overlayer of metallic materials soldered into position, adhesive tape end portions and the insulation required by the conductor. The method of producing the mass terminated miniature coaxial ribbon cable comprises the steps necessary to produce a cable, both during the process and as a finished product that is consistently uniform in terms of the spacing of the conductors exposed and repetitive axial location without which later operations cannot be performed enmasse with a high degree of reliability and uniform appearance. The uniformity also allows termination without crossovers and shorts and improves strain relief by allowing all the conductors to become taut at the same time in order to equally share mechanical loads in a straight line motion.
