Abstract
A terminal pressure welding device and method are provided. In this improved device and method, a pair of wires are pushed into a space between a pair of barrels by a wire holding member, and the pair of barrels are caulked by lapping one of them on the other by a crimper. At the start of the barrel caulking by the crimper, the wires are fixed to a position between the pair of the barrels by the wire holding member,, so that an ingress allowance space is ensured for allowing the edge of one of the barrels to get under the other barrel. With this device and method, a terminal can be pressure welded onto even two thick wires as desired, and the pressure welding widths of terminals can be as uniform as possible so that the terminals can surely be inserted into the terminal receiving chambers of a connector.
