Claim:
A terminal crimping pliers, for clamping a terminal tab with a plurality of electrical connecting lines, comprising; two opposing handles; a pivot passing through and pivotally connecting the two handles; an assembly board having a plurality of crimping holes and two stopping slots; a collet provided at the bottom of the crimping holes and interlocked with the pivot, such that the collet moves back and forth within the crimping holes, and thus the collet and the crimping holes are clamped or released, and the two opposing handles are interlocked with the collet; and a first locating bar and a second locating bar, the first locating bar passing through a top of one of the two opposing handles and one of the two stopping slots, the second locating bar passing through a top of the other handle and the other stopping slot, the two locating bars moving back and forth within a distance according to opening or closing of the two opposing handles, wherein the two stopping slots are formed at an axial direction leaned upward defining an imaginary V-shape having a mouth at the widest opening of the V such that each stopping slot forms an upward oblique angle with a horizontal line that extends from an inside to an outside of the assembly board and with the mouth of the V-shape facing the plurality of crimping holes, said two stopping slots limiting movement of the first and second locating bars within the two slots, thereby reducing the distance for the opening and the closing of the two opposing handles.
