Abstract
A terminal applicator () for attaching electrical terminals () to a wire includes a terminal hold down device () for limiting movement of the terminal during the crimping process. The hold down device () includes a hold down arm (), a pair of guide rods (), and a removable standoff (). The guide rods () are carried by a reciprocating ram () and are arranged so that when the standoff abuts a travel limit block () the hold down arm remains in close proximity to the terminal while the ram () continues its motion to complete the crimping cycle.
