  • Patent number: 4571824
    Abstract: A terminal removal tool for removing terminals from a printed circuit board, includes a pliers arrangement with special jaws to engage the terminal. Each jaw includes a housing to enclose an end of the terminal and a wedge which is positioned to engage an underside of the terminal when the pliers are closed. The end of the housing rides on the surface of the circuit board to properly position the wedges and when the pliers are closed the action of the wedges breaks the friction fit of the pins holding the terminal to the circuit board.

  • Patent number: 4399609
    Abstract: A tool (10) for fitting a "flag" type conductor terminating receptacle (11) on a spade lug terminal (12) of an electrical component (16). The tool (10) comprises a circular rod (21), one end of which is formed to present a tab (23) cut along a chord of the rod (21) cross section, the tab (23) having an inner surface (24) tangent to a bore (22) formed in the rod transverse to its longitudinal axis. The tab (23) thus formed extends beyond the main portion of the rod and defines a slot (25) permitting access to the bore (22) from the rod end. The receptacle (11) to be fitted is held by the tool (10) by inserting the roll of the crimped conductor into the rod bore (22) the end tab (23) supporting the rear face (27) of the receptacle (11).

  • Patent number: 4399608
    Abstract: A tool (10) for fitting a conductor terminating receptacle (11) on a spade lug terminal (12) of an electrical component (16). The tool (10) comprises a circular rod (21) one end of which is formed to present a tab (23) cut along a chord of the cross-section of the rod (21) having an inner surface (24) tangent to a hole (22) formed into the rod (21) from its end coaxial with its longitudinal axis. The rolled conductor contact section (19) of a receptacle is inserted in the end hole (22), the conductor (20) extending outside of the hole (22) through a slot (25) in the side of the rod (21) along the depth of the hole (22). The receptacle (11) is clasped between the extended tab (23) which bears on the rear face (28) of the receptacle (11) and a pair of short lugs (26, 27) extending from the end of the rod (21) on either side of the slot (25), which lugs either fit into the folded over sides (17, 18) of the receptacle or bear against their ends.
