ABSTRACT:
Terminals for a surface mount device are crimped about the device core in a staple-like manner, utilizing spooled wire as the terminal filament. The spooled wire is supported above the core material in a mechanical platform, and first and second slide assemblies shape the conductive filament about the upper perimeter of the core material and the underside of the core material, respectively. The simplified process reduces manufacturing time and costs.
