A crimp and method for loading a wire therein

We describe a crimp for forming an electrical connection to a wire, an actuator assembly comprising a pair of crimps and a crimp closing mechanism. We also describe methods of assembling an actuator assembly. The crimp (110) comprises a first generally planar portion (120); a second portion (122) co...

Zusammenfassung:We describe a crimp for forming an electrical connection to a wire, an actuator assembly comprising a pair of crimps and a crimp closing mechanism. We also describe methods of assembling an actuator assembly. The crimp (110) comprises a first generally planar portion (120); a second portion (122) connected to and set at an angle to the first portion; and a third portion (124) connected to the second portion to define a channel between the second and third portions. The channel is configured to receive a wire (12). The third portion is foldable relative to the second portion to secure the received wire (12) within the crimp (110).
