Patent ID: 7475475

Claim:
The method of repetitively accomplishing a mechanical action of a tool member for securing insulated conductors in insulation displacement type connectors of a connector panel, comprising the steps of: (a) drivingly engaging the tool member with one end of a compression spring while also engaging one conductor with the tool member; (b) manually applying incrementally increasing force to the other end of the compression spring until the conductor is secured within a connector of the connector panel; c) continuously electronically monitoring the force level existing within the compression spring while its force is being applied to the tool member; (d) when the one conductor has been secured in one connector of the connector panel, recording the force level that then existed within the spring; and (e) to secure another conductor within another connector of the same panel, repeating the process until force at the previously recorded level of force is applied to the other end of the compression spring.
