Abstract

A wire terminal crimper is comprised of a frame, a crimping bolt, an anvil, a detent pin and a wire guide. The frame has an anvil bore, a threaded bolt opening and a detent pin opening. The bolt is screwed into the bolt opening. In use, the bolt is tightened upon a wire terminal to crimp the terminal to a wire. The anvil fits within the anvil bore and contains wire terminal seats for holding a terminal in place during crimping. The anvil has a channel containing detent notches for aligning the wire terminal seat with the bolt. The detent pin projects within the anvil channel to align the wire terminal seat with the bolt and to secure the anvil within the frame. The wire guide is comprised of a wire support and the clamp. It maintains the position of the wire terminal and wire during the crimping process.
