ELECTRICAL TERMINAL APPLICATOR AND A CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT PLATE THEREFOR

摘要

An applicator ram (8) driven by a press ram (46) drives an insulation barrel crimping die (10) which is adjustable lengthwise of the rams (8) and a wire barrel crimping die (14) fixed to the applicator ram (8), to crimp electrical terminals (T) to leads (L) in cooperation with an anvil (22). A crimp height adjustment disc (60) is rotatable about a shaft (104) on the applicator ram (8) selectively to interpose first projections (76) on one side of the disc (60) between the press ram (46) and the applicator ram (8) to adjust the shut height of the wire barrel crimping die (14) and selectively to interpose second projections (82) on the other side of the disc (60) between the applicator ram (8) and the insulation barrel crimping die (10) to adjust its shut height. The projections (76 and 82) are so dimensioned and arranged and are provided in such relative numbers that for each different shut height of the wire barrel crimping die (14) a plurality of different shut heights, for the insulation barrel crimping die (10) can be selected by suitably angularly adjusting the disc (60).
