A magazine (1) for processing wire terminations (2), which are connected to one another via connecting bridges (3) to form a wire termination strip (4), wherein the magazine (1) has a housing (5). The housing (5) has a magazine level in which the wire terminations (2) can be separated from the wire termination strip (4) by a cutting device (6) provided in the magazine level. A feed mechanism (7) is provided in the magazine level, by which mechanism the wire termination strip (4) can be transported in the magazine level, so that the separated wire terminations (2) can be conveyed into a depression level for processing, the magazine level and the depression level being different from one another.

A hand crimp tool includes a handle having upper and lower handles having upper and lower handgrips hand squeezed to close the hand crimp tool. The hand crimp tool includes a head having upper and lower jaws defining a crimp zone therebetween. The lower jaw includes an anvil holding a terminal and the upper jaw includes a crimper crimping the terminal. The hand crimp tool includes a wire inserter coupled to the head having a carriage movable between an advanced position and a retracted position. The wire inserter has a wire clamp holding a wire in the carriage and the wire inserter moves the wire relative to the head to position and hold the wire in the terminal during crimping of the terminal between the anvil and the crimper.

Die sets for crimping busses to electrical connectors are provided. The die set includes a pair of dies where one die has a guide member for aligning the dies with the electrical connector, and the other die has a one or more indentors for impacting the electrical connector. The electrical connectors include a guide hole that receives the guide member.

A wire harness assembly work cell includes a wire harness assembly work table with a pneumatically powered or spring-fed universal applicator tool for mass terminating sets of wires into insulator wafers. The insulator wafers may be assembled in stacks to form cable-end connector headshells. Insulation displacement terminals (IDT) are designed to receive wide ranges of wire diameters so that larger varieties of wire sizes may be received into these connector assemblies while using fewer different sizes of terminals, thus reducing the number of items in a bill of material (BOM) and substantially reducing the volumes and overhead costs of testing and quality control documentation dedicated to each individual BOM item.

A crimping tool for crimping a contact sleeve onto an electrical conductor of a cable has at least a cable transport device, a cutting and stripping device, a crimping device and a printing device, which are disposed one following the other in this order in a direction on a cable feed-through of the crimping tool with an axis. The crimping tool is designed such that a cable end of the cable, which cable end is inserted via a cable inlet opening of the cable feed-through, is fed by the cable transport device in the direction to the cutting and stripping device, to the crimping device and to the printing device and subsequently is led out of the crimping tool via a cable outlet opening of the cable feed-through, which cable outlet opening is opposite the cable inlet opening.
