Abstract
An apparatus and method are disclosed for terminating a wire to a terminal having a metal contact that is partially assembled to an insulated housing. The apparatus includes a stop that abuttingly engages bulges in the contact after crimping and thereby prevents axial movement of the contact while sliding the insulated housing thereover. Both the crimping and assembly operations are performed in a single workstation.
