A terminal cutter includes a tool frame having a first cutting member coupled to an upper handle having a first cutting surface for cutting a terminal from a carrier strip and a second cutting member coupled to a lower handle having a second cutting surface for cutting the terminal from the carrier strip. A terminal strip guide assembly is coupled to the upper handle and/or the lower handle offset from the first and second cutting members. The terminal strip guide assembly includes a strip guide having a slot receiving the carrier strip and having a guide surface adjacent the slot. The guide surface is configured to engage the terminal to locate the terminal relative to the terminal strip guide assembly and to control a depth of the carrier strip received in the slot.

A method of assembling a connector for automotive applications, comprising the steps of: providing a cable having at least one inner conductor; connecting an elongated inner signal contact of the connector to a stripped end of the at least one inner conductor; surrounding the elongated inner signal contact by an insulating element; placing a first shielding part of the connector around a first portion of the insulating element from a first radial direction; placing a second shielding part of the connector around a second portion of the insulating element from a second radial direction generally opposite to the first radial direction; and joining the first and second shielding parts to form a shielding contact of the connector surrounding the insulating element.

-- A connector 10 is provided with a terminal 12 to be connected to a core wire 13 located on an end part of a wire 11 including the core wire 13, and a housing 30 including an accommodating portion 29 for accommodating the terminal 13. The terminal 12 includes a terminal body 15 having a sandwiching portion 18 and a slide portion 16 for sandwiching the core wire 13 by the sandwiching portion 18 by being pressed and slid from behind with respect to the terminal body 15. The housing 30 includes an opening 32. The opening 32 exposes a part of a front end part of the terminal body 15 to front.

A manufacturing method for the secondary battery includes a first preparation step for inserting a terminal formed in an oval like shape and having a cylindrical shaft part into an attachment hole formed on a sealing plate of the secondary battery, a second preparation step for arranging a conductive member on a surface at a side where the shaft part of the sealing plate protrudes, a first caulking step for using a caulking tool that includes a tip end part formed in an oval like shape and includes a base end part formed in a complete round shape whose diameter is larger than the tip end part, to insert the tip end part into the shaft part, so as to make the base end part expand an inner diameter of the shaft part, and a second caulking step for pressing an expanded portion of the shaft part to be flat.

An electrical assembly includes a terminal having a terminal body, a first wing extending from the terminal body, and/or a second wing extending from the terminal body. An electrical assembly may include a conductor in electrical contact with the first wing. The conductor may include a conductive layer and/or an insulative layer. An inner surface of the first wing and/or an outer surface of the first wing may be in direct contact with the conductive layer of the conductor.

Systems and devices for crimping a medical device and associated methods are disclosed herein. A crimping device configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, a frame including a stationary plate, a movable member, and a plurality of blades arranged to form a channel and each including a pin that projects through a slot on the movable member and a corresponding slot on the stationary plate. The crimping device can be actuated to move the movable member relative to the stationary plate to drive the pins along paths defined by the slots to thereby drive the blades radially inward to crimp a medical device positioned within the channel.

A contact bending unit comprises a frame and a bending tool pivotally mounted on the frame. The bending tool has a row of receiving slots formed in a bottom surface of the bending tool receiving a plurality of contacts. The bending tool bends the contacts when the bending tool is rotated.
