Method and apparatus for producing electrical harnesses having multi-contact connectors and discrete wires

摘要

Electrical harnesses comprising wires having a multi-contact connector on one end and discrete terminals on the free ends of the wires are produced by feeding individual wires, cutting a lead from the fed wire, moving the cut ends laterally to terminating zones, and attaching a terminal to one cut end and connecting the other cut end to a terminal in a multi-contact connector. The process is then repeated until wires have been connected to all of the terminals in the connector. An apparatus is also described for carrying out the method.
