1. A system for a terminal applicator for separating a terminal from a terminal strip comprising a plurality of interconnected terminals, the terminal applicator including a crimping die configured to crimp the terminal as the crimping die is brought into contact with the terminal using a crimping actuator, the system comprising:
a movable shear tool;
a primary shear depressor mounted to the crimping actuator and configured to come into contact with the movable shear tool to drive the shear tool from an initial position to an intermediate position to shear the terminal from the terminal strip as the crimping actuator moves the crimping die to crimp the terminal; and
a secondary shear depressor movably mounted to the primary shear depressor so as to drive the shear tool from the intermediate position to a final position after the terminal has been sheared from the terminal strip by the movable shear tool.
