A CRIMP TERMINAL

A SERIES OF SIDE BY SIDE ALIGNED CRIMP TERMINALS IN A STRIP FORM HAVING A CONTROLLED SPACING BETWEEN ADJACENT CARRYING APERTURES ARE DISCLOSED. ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT INVENTION ANY OF THE TWO STRIP TERMINALS WITH DIFFERENT TERMINAL SPACING A AND B IS APPLIED FOR CRIMPING OPERATION WITH INSULATED CONDUCTORS, WHERE A < B < 2A AND WHERE SPACING A BETWEEN TWO ADJACENT CRIMP TERMINALS ARE EQUAL TO THAT OF THE TWO ADJACENT APERTURES FOR CARRYING THE STRIP, AND THE APERTURE IS LOCATED ON THE TERMINAL CARRIER IN A POSITION WHICH IS BIASED TO AN EXTENT OF DISTANCE A'' FROM LONGITUDINAL AXIS OF THE PRECEDING CRIMP TERMINAL, AND ANYONE OF THE APERTURES IS LOCATED IN A POSITION C WHICH IS PART DISTANCE C FROM CRIMPING POSITION E, WHERE C < 2A * A'', AND THE LENGTH C IS MATCHED WITH THE DISTANCE FROM CRIMPING POSITION E IN A CRIMPING APPARATUS TO A STATIONARY POSITION F OF A FEED BLADE OF THE SAME APPARATUS WHICH CARRIES THE STRIP TERMINAL IN ORDER BY MAKING AN ENGAGEMENT AT THE CARRYING APERTURES.(FIG. 3)
