Abstract
A universal crimping tool locator which is adapted to accurately and repeatedly accommodate and locate all sizes of electrical contacts in a crimping tool within the crimping range of a specific crimping tool frame. The inventive universal crimping tool locator integrates a plurality of concepts in that a multi-stepped receptacle tip of the locator is adapted to accommodate different sizes of electrical contacts and is in operative communication with a measuring device, preferably such as a micrometer head, so as to derive a single crimping tool arrangement or frame which contemplates the provision of a controllable, functionally highly predictable and reliable structure for enabling the crimping of widely divergingly sized electrical contact and wire combination, and which is designed for any particular crimping tool frame with which the crimping tool locator is intended to be employed.
