    Abstract: A connector support assembly is configured to securely retain a mating connector during an assembling process of an electrical connector. The connector support assembly may include a universal base including an insert channel, and a plurality of inserts configured to be interchangeably retained within the insert channel. Each of the inserts includes a base connection interface having a common shape and size that is configured to be retained by the base within the insert channel, and at least one shell connection interface. The shell connection interface(s) of at least two of the inserts differ in one or both of size and shape and are configured to retain different sized shells of different mating connectors.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for designing and assembling form boards with attached wire routing devices for use in wire bundle assembly. The assembly method comprises: (a) establishing a coordinate system of a form board having a multiplicity of holes; (b) using a computer system to determine locations of form board devices of different types with reference to the coordinate system of the form board based on engineering data specifying a wire bundle configuration; and (c) fastening the form board devices of different types to respective holes of the form board having centers closest to respective locations determined in step (b). The form board devices may be inserted robotically or manually.

    Abstract: An apparatus for facilitating an insertion of a wire surrounded by shielding into an electrical component so as to prevent a dislocation of the shielding during insertion is disclosed. The apparatus includes a wire receiver and one or more conduits within a body. The wire receiver has a cavity including a first end and a second end. A portion of the first end and second end define a wire axis along the cavity through the body and the cavity is configured to receive the wire along the wire axis. The conduits are connected to the cavity between the first end and second end and are configured to direct air flow radially into the cavity and in a direction outward through an air outlet at the first end of the cavity along the wire axis to force the shielding against the wire while the wire is inserted into the electrical component.
