Abstract

See full text

A rivet coupling device 1 has a connector holder unit 250 which carries connectors 200 and a board 50. A supporting die 150 is disposed beneath the connectors 200, and an upper tool unit 92 is disposed above the connectors 200. The upper tool unit 92 can be lowered in order to couple rivets 220. In conjunction with this movement, a link mechanism 30 is actuated to move a cam plate 80, whereby the supporting die 150 is raised slightly by cam projections 148, so that the rivets 220 extending through the connector 200 are deformed between crimpers 134 on the upper tool unit 92 and the supporting die 150. Prior to rivet coupling, a slight gap is formed by the spring terminals between the board 50 and the connector 200. After rivet coupling is performed, this gap is eliminated without deforming the board 50.
