Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus for voiding selected terminals from a connector assembly wherein an array of terminals, joined to a common carrier member, are partially preloaded in a connector housing. The apparatus includes a punch having a first projection which engages and deforms the terminal. The punch further includes a second projection following the first projection, for severing the terminal from the carrier strip. The selected terminals are disengaged and extracted from the connector housing and severed from the carrier member, at the voiding station.
