Crimp die with resilient anvil

摘要

A die for crimping an electrical terminal onto a wire lead. This includes a base with a terminal support structure for supporting and feeding a strip of terminals to a crimp station overlying an anvil. Punch means are provided over the anvil adapted to move in contact with a terminal at the crimp station to form with the anvil an electrical connection between the wire lead and terminal. The anvil is supported on a resilient cantilever beam member which deflects during the crimping operation.
