Abstract: In an example, a method for assembly of a modular cable connector includes, at an end effector of a robotic insertion system, holding a cable insert module for insertion into a module slot of a module retainer. Two or more images are captured of the module retainer. Image processing is performed to identify a segmented image region corresponding to the module retainer and a virtual plane parallel to a face of the module retainer. The end effector is moved to an alignment pose determined based, at least in part, on the segmented image region and the virtual plane. The end effector is moved from the alignment pose toward an insertion pose. Upon insertion of the cable insert module into the module slot of the module retainer, the cable insert module is released from the end effector.

Abstract: A cable connector assembly includes a module retainer and a set of two or more cable insert modules sized and shaped for removable retention within two or more module slots of the module retainer. A cable insert module of the set of two or more cable insert modules includes a cable insertion recess sized and shaped for insertion of a cable wire of a cable, a connectivity interface on an opposing face of the cable insert module, and a transmission path between the cable insertion recess and the connectivity interface.

Abstract: An electrical contact system includes a contact having a barrel with a wire entry portion having a first diameter, a clip portion having a second diameter, and a cam portion having a second diameter at a first end that tapers to a third diameter at a second end near the wire entry portion. The system also includes a clip positioned in the clip portion of the barrel, wherein ends of inwardly directed tines of the clip are configured to engage the conductor to enable the clip to be drawn onto the cam portion in response to a user pulling the wire after insertion of the conductor through the clip.
