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.
