Feed the end of the insulted wire to the IDC contact, so the wire rests flush with the bottom face
(arrow) of the connector. Check the correct position of the wire.
The gripper still remains open.
Make sure that the chamber fixation is arranged in its functional position.
This has to be in any case before executing the contacting!
The positioning of the wire above the IDC contact has a major impact on the
quality of contacting!
Therefore check the correct position of the wire!
Pinch the gripper.
