An ultrasonic welding apparatus adapted to simultaneously weld individual wire ends to individual contacts on a wire connector is disclosed. The apparatus includes an ultrasonic horn having a welding tip attached at one end. An anvil selectively and separately supports the wire ends on the individual wire contacts. A comb is engaged with the anvil for selectively maintaining separation between the adjacent wire ends and the adjacent contacts during ultrasonic welding and for dislodging the wire connector after the wire ends have been welded thereto.

The method of simultaneously ultrasonically welding individual wire ends to individual contacts on a wire connector, comprising the steps of: providing an anvil having a plurality of first projections; providing a comb having a plurality of teeth spaced from each other to enable them to be slidably received between the projections of the anvil; positioning the teeth of the comb so that they project from the top surface of the anvil; positioning the individual contacts of the wire connector on the anvil and between the teeth of the comb; placing the individual wire ends between the teeth of the comb so as to contact the individual connector; providing an ultrasonic horn having an ultrasonic welding tip, said welding tip having a plurality of projections extending therefrom and being separated from each other a distance to enable sliding engagement between the teeth of said comb; moving said ultrasonic welding tip whereby the end of the projections presses the individual wires against the contacts which are resting on the anvil; and ultrasonically welding the wires to the contacts.
