Abstract
A tool for crimping electrical terminals (10) to terminate conductive wires (20) by inelastic deformation of portions of the terminal includes a motor driven cam (42) connected to toggle linkage (48) adapted to drive a double acting linkage (30,32) to effect die displacement against the terminal through a disk (78) mounted for rotary movement in a race (80), the double acting linkage providing an enhanced mechanical advantage in the high force requirement zone of die displacement.
