There is described a unit (1) for crimping the terminals (2) of an electric connector (3) to respective conducting tracks (4) of a flat cable (5). The unit (1) has an anvil assembly (26) having receiving means (36) for receiving the connector (3); and a pressure assembly (27) movable to and from the anvil assembly (26) in a first direction (B) perpendicular to the flat cable (5), and having matrix means (104, 105) which are pressed onto the receiving means (36) to crimp the terminals (2) of the connector (3) to respective conducting tracks (4) of the flat cable (5). The receiving means (36) have supporting means (71) for supporting the terminals (2) of the connector (3); and locating means (77) which, when loading the connector (3) onto the anvil assembly (26), interact with the terminals (2) to set the terminals (2) in predetermined positions on the supporting means (71) in a second direction (D) crosswise to the flat cable (5) and to the first direction (B). |
