Abstract
A wire spacer ( ) is used to reduce the cost of terminating wires ( ) of a cable ( ) to a cable termination connector assembly ( ). The connector assembly includes the wire spacer, a dielectric housing ( ), a conductive shroud ( ), a printed circuit board ( ) and a number of contacts ( ). The contacts mount in the housing and are soldered to one end of the PCB. The wires are inserted through holes ( ) of the wire spacer ( ). Proper positioning of the wires is then more easily verified and stripping the wires and attaching the pair of conductors in each wire to a rear end of the PCB can then be automated. This results in lower production cost. An added advantage is the wire spacer functions as a strain relief for wires of the cable.
