• the invention relates in particular, but not only, to contacts of the “lug” type, or sleeves for coupling or for branching between several cables, and more particularly still electrical contacts for a motor vehicle. These contacts of a particular type are also known by the name "terminals”.
• the constriction formed at the level of the crimping barrel has essentially two functions, consisting on the one hand of ensuring sufficient mechanical resistance of the contact on the cable, which allows the assembly to withstand significant tensile forces, and on the other hand to ensure good electrical continuity between the strands of the cable, as well as between the cable and the contact.
• An important cause of deterioration of this electrical continuity is the penetration, inside the barrel and between the strands, of moisture or other corrosive agents or particles present in the ambient atmosphere. These phenomena must therefore be minimized by ensuring a long-lasting good seal on the one hand between the strands and on the other hand between the strands and the barrel.
• the constriction formed at the level of the crimping barrel not only ensures satisfactory compression of the strands in the barrel, but also maintains these strands in an optimal arrangement throughout the lifetime of the contact.

This phase corresponds to a dead stroke of the output member of the drive motor. (ii) The follower 181 then arrives in the inclined segment 171B, so that it is driven in a displacement, oriented downwards in the Figure, with the cam 171, which causes a displacement of the die part 103.
• the follower 182 continues to move, without solicitation, in the vertical rectilinear segment 172A of the corresponding cam 172, so that the punch 113 is not stressed in movement and remains stationary.
• the die parts 103 At the end of the travel of the follower 181 in the inclined segment 171B, the die parts 103 thus arrive in their tight position, in which they will be maintained until the end of the crimping operation.
• the third operating phase corresponding to the third segment 171C of the cam 171, the movement of the cam 171 no longer produces stress on the follower 181, since this segment 191C is oriented in the direction of movement of the motor output member 151.
