An electrical terminal applicator (10) is provided for crimping terminals (24) onto wires (90), the terminals being secured to a tape (26) in a side-by-side relationship with their axes extending laterally of the tape. An applicator ram (14) is drivable in a first path (A) for moving a crimping die (18, 20) toward and away from a crimping anvil (22). A track (32) guides the tape in a second path (B) which generally intersects the first path of the ram. The track includes a platen (34) and a guide plate (36) which define a pair of opposing clamping jaws for engaging and gripping opposite surfaces of the tape and pulling the tape laterally of the second path thereof. The tape is moved relatively away from the crimping die when in crimping condition with the anvil and in engagement with a crimped terminal, to break the terminal away from the tape. <IMAGE> |
