Abstract
Apparatus for separating an assembled insulated wire terminal from a carrier strip segment. The assembled terminal has an insulating plastic sleeve surrounding the metal body, the forward end of the body being attached to the carrier strip segment at a prescored separation line extending generally parallel to the length of the carrier strip and within the sleeve. The apparatus comprises positioning means to retain the assembled wire terminal in a fixed position, and flexing means to flex the carrier strip segment at the prescored separation line successively in two senses with respect to the wire terminal retained in the fixed position, to separate the carrier strip segment from the terminal at the prescored separation line within the sleeve.
