Abstract

The device has a base frame having a lever arm that is pivotably mounted at one end and, at its other end, carries a pressure punch. The press punch is moved on a circular path toward individual wires as a result of a manual actuation of the lever arm, and presses the individual wires into IDC contacts as a result of pressure being exerted linearly by a handle provided on a pivoting element.
