Electrical connector configuring dies, tool and method

摘要

A die set adapted to remove an end of a substantially flat lug of an electrical connector. The die set includes a first die and a second die. The first die includes a first frame and a spring loaded member connected to the first frame. The first frame includes a first contact surface adapted to directly contact a first side of the lug. The second die includes a second frame having a second contact surface adapted to contact a second side of the lug at a position offset from the first contact surface. The spring loaded member is adapted to contact the first side of the lug directly opposite the second contact surface. The first and second contact surfaces are adapted to shear off the end of the lug from the electrical connector.
