Hi guys:
We are trying to put together a prototype that involves little JST
insulation-displacement connectors to fit onto the ends of ribbon
cables. They are the "ZR" type.
The tooling to assemble these is astronomical in price. I wouldn't
mind paying it if we intended to do the eventual production here, but
this is just a prototype machine and we have over 100 connectors to
assemble. We did a couple just by cramming each wire into its slot
with a small screwdriver, but this is tedious and mangles the
connector a bit, though it does conduct and seems to work fine.
Is there a better way of manually assembling these?
Thanks for any ideas you might have.
Don
