ABSTRACT:
A tool (30) is disclosed for inserting insulated conductors (32) into insulation displacement contacts (34) and crimping the strain relief tabs (76) onto the insulated conductor in two stages to minimize distortion of the housing (36) containing the contacts. The tool includes an inserter (48) having a first crimping blade (70) that operates in a first crimping station (86) and a second crimping blade (88) that operates in a second crimping station (102). The inserter (48) includes an insertion blade (66) that fully inserts the insulated conductor (32) in the IDC contact (34) in the first crimping station (86) while the first crimping blade 70 rolls over and partially crimps the tabs (76) that project from the contact (34) onto the insulated conductor (32). Concurrently, the second crimping blade 88 engages the tabs (76) in the second crimping station 102 and completes the crimp to form the strain relief.
