Abstract
An apparatus and method are disclosed for terminating a wire to a terminal having a metal contact that is partially assembled to an insulating housing. The apparatus includes a stop that abuttingly engages a side of the contact within the interior of the housing. A stripper arm automatically moves the crimped and assembled terminal laterally so that it is clear of the stop arm for easy removal. The crimping and assembly operations are performed in a single cycle of the press ram.
