ABSTRACT:
A tool head for use in crimping a connector to a conductor, where the connector and conductor extend in a longitudinal direction. The tool head defines a crimping area about which a plurality of crimping nibs are mounted for movement into the crimping area so that the nibs act to indent the connector during a crimping operation of the tool head. Each nib is elongated and includes a connector indenting surface formed by a segment of a cylinder the axis of which extends transverse to the direction of elongation of the nib. In the preferred embodiment, four nibs are provided to define two opposing pairs of nibs. The nibs of one opposing pair are elongated generally transverse to the longitudinal direction of the connector, and the other opposing pair of nibs are elongated generally parallel to the longitudinal direction of the connector. Therefore, the nibs of each pair are elongated generally perpendicular to the nibs of the opposite pair.
