The present invention relates to a wire termination system for terminating wires in at least one of a plurality of terminal connectors removably affixed to each other in a terminal connector strip that includes a body having a connector positioning cavity therein for receiving the terminal connector strip; a pushing element within the positioning cavity for advancing the terminal connector strip within the positioning cavity; a crimping element for receiving at least one of the plurality of terminal connectors from the pushing element; a support within the positioning cavity for positioning at least one of the plurality of terminal connectors within the crimping element; and a handle moveably attached to the crimping element and the body, wherein the handle and the crimping element are configured to terminate the wires within at least one of the plurality of terminal connectors and to separate the terminal connector from the terminal connector strip.
A wire terminating system for terminating wires in at least one of a plurality of terminal connectors removably affixed to each other in a terminal connector strip comprising:
In a wire terminating system having a terminating tool body with a connector positioning cavity therein, a pushing element within said positioning cavity for advancing terminal connectors therein, a crimping element for receiving said terminal connectors from said pushing element, and a handle moveably attached to said crimping element and said body for terminating wires within said terminal connectors, the terminal connector strip comprising a plurality of said terminal connectors removably affixed to each other at a connection point by ultrasonic welding and capable of being separated from said terminal connector strip by said crimping element when said wires are terminated within said terminal connector.
A wire terminating system for terminating wires in at least one of a plurality of terminal connectors removably affixed to each other in a terminal connector strip comprising:
A wire terminating system for terminating wires in at least one of a plurality of terminal connectors removably affixed to each other in a terminal connector strip comprising:
