Abstract
A contact crimping machine for use with a pin having a wire receiving seat includes a chamber, a plurality of crimping dies and actuating means for activating the crimping dies. Means are provided selectively to move one of the pins through the chamber into communication with the crimping dies, and restraining means are provided for maintaining a pin in suspended position removed from the actuating means. The contact crimping machine is constructed so that when the pre-stripped end of a wire is placed into the wire receiving seat of a pin, and downward pressure is supplied, the pin engages the actuating means and the crimping dies are momentarily urged against the wire receiving seat thus crimping the pre-stripped end of the wire within the wire receiving seat. Circuit means are provided to automatically position the next pin into place.
