Abstract: A termination block for ribbon cable (1), wherein the ends of the conductor wires in the ribbon cable form pin (12) of a connector for attaching the ribbon cable to a printed circuit board or the like. Insulation is removed from the end of the ribbon cable, and the individual conductors are placed in grooves (7a, 7b) in a base member, and retained by a cover member. A forming blade (30) is passed through apertures, aligned with the grooves, in both base and cover members to force a portion of conductor wire through the base member. In a preferred embodiment, the conductor wire is formed into a U-shape protruding from the base, which is then compressed to form a pin (12) to mate with holes in a printed circuit board or the like.
