Abstract
A locator and wire stop device mounted on a hand operated crimping tool for locating and retaining at least one crimpable connector part between two crimping dies of the hand operated crimping tool. The locator and wire stop device includes a positioning mechanism for cooperation with a connector comprising the crimpable connector part, an axially protruding connection part, and an intermediate connector body comprising a transversal protrusion. The positioning mechanism comprises a pivotable connector and wire stop element, a first resilient locator element and a second locator element. The first resilient locator element retains the connection part of the connector. During a crimping operation, the first resilient locator element abuts against an axial end of the transversal protrusion and the pivotable connector and wire stop element axially blocks the other axial end of the transversal protrusion, thereby positioning and retaining the connector in the crimping tool.
