ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for processing a number of "L"-shaped sections within a flat strip to form terminals extending from a component. In the strip, these sections are attached to a web by connecting portions. A number of such sections are simultaneously processed within various stations through which the strip is incrementally fed. These connecting portions are first twisted, so that each "L"-shaped section in the number of such sections extends in a plane perpendicular to the web. Next, these connecting portions are deflected so that outward extending legs of the sections extend in a direction needed for insertion into an electronic component structure. Then, these connecting portions are sheared, as each "L"-shaped section separated from the strip is placed in a slot within a receptacle block. Then, the receptacle block is slid to insert the "L"-shaped sections.
