Principles of Operation

The lever attaches to the lower tooling and provides the mechanical advantage to generate the

necessary crimping pressure. As the lever is closed, a ratchet mechanism engages to prevent the

lever from opening until the crimping cycle is complete. When the lever is pulled closed, the lower

tooling and terminal are pushed up against the upper tooling. The crimp is formed between the

wire and insulation barrel anvils and the wire and insulation crimpers. Once closed, the ratchet

releases and allows a spring to pull the lever open.
