Abstract

An electrical terminal applicator includes a terminal assembly die that is installed in a press. The terminal assembly die is a modular design comprising a base unit assembly having several assemblies attached to it. These assemblies include a slide retainer assembly, a terminal feed assembly, a terminal guide and brake assembly, an upper tool pack assembly and a lower tool pack assembly. Other assemblies may be attached to the base unit assembly or substituted for the original assemblies to provide great versatility with respect to the types of terminals, tooling and presses that can be used in connection with the terminal assembly die.
