    (54) A crimp terminal


    (57) A series of side by side aligned crimp terminals in a strip form having a controlled spacing between adjacent carrying apertures are disclosed.
    According to the present invention any of the two strip terminals with different terminal spacing A and B is applied for crimping operationg with insulated conductors, where A < B < 2A and where spacing A between two adjacent crimp terminals are equal to that of the two adjacent apertures for carrying the strip, and the aperture is located on the terminal carrier in a position which is biased to an extent of distance A′ from longitudinal axis of the preceding crimp terminal, and anyone of the apertures is located in a position C which is apart distance C from crimping position E, where C ≦ 2A + A′, and the length C is matched with the distance from crimping position E in a crimping apparatus to a stationary position F of a feed blade of the same apparatus which carries the strip terminal in order by making an engagement at the carrying apertures.
