Abstract
A terminal crimping device includes crimp tooling and a seal depressor fixed to the crimp tooling. The crimp tooling and the seal depressor move with a movable ram along a crimp stroke towards and away from a base that receives a wire assembly and a terminal thereon. The crimp tooling crimps the terminal to both a wire and a compression seal of the wire assembly during the crimp stroke. The seal depressor has a contact tab that engages and at least partially depresses the compression seal of the wire assembly during the crimp stroke to hold the compression seal in place as the crimp tooling crimps the terminal to the wire assembly.
