A terminal applicator for applying terminals in the form of a continuous belt and having a crimping die and a crimping anvil movable relatively towards and away from each other is disclosed. The belt of terminals is fed along a feed path extending behind the dies to present and index the leading terminal on the belt to the dies. After crimping, the dies move relatively away from each other to free the crimped terminal. An ejector means is spaced laterally of the feed path and moves into engagement with the wire and away from the dies, while the other end of the wire is held by a wire clamp, so that the crimped terminal is broken away from, and thereby removed from, the belt. In one embodiment, the wire clamp is movably mounted for lateral movement toward and away from the dies, so that the wire end may be inserted into a closed-barrel terminal prior to the crimping operation.
