A crimping die (2) comprised of a wire crimping portion (4) and an insulation crimping portion (6), and an anvil (8) includes a wire retaining mechanism (30,130,132) sandwiched therebetween where the wire retaining mechanism includes a wire retaining detent (34,134,234) in advance of the crimping surfaces formed on the wire crimp member (4) and the insulation crimp (6). The wire retaining mechanism (30,130,230) is fixedly mounted to the crimping die (4) and insulation crimp member (6) by way of a retaining portion (36,136,236) which has been wire eroded from an interior portion of the plate which forms the wire retaining mechanism. A formed spring (40,140,240) is wire eroded from the plate portion and is positioned intermediate the retaining portion (36,136, 236) and the remainder of the plate portion to allow the wire retaining detent (34,134 234) to be moveable vertically upward along the crimp axis (Y) during the downward movement of the wire crimp member (4) and the insulation crimp member (6) during the normal crimp cycle. <IMAGE> |
