    (54) Dieless compression head and method of crimping


    (57) An electrical connector crimping tool has a head (14) with a stationary anvil (18) and a movable ram (16). The anvil (18) has two angled contact surfaces (32,33) for contacting a connector. The ram (16) has a front with a pyramid (38) and angled side portions (52,53). The pyramid is suitably sized and shaped such that the angled side portions (52,53) of the ram (16) can contact the anvil angled contact surfaces (32, 33) to stop forward advancement of the ram (16) without the pyramid (38) contacting the anvil.
