[0003] Reference Figure 1 The connector terminal includes a terminal shell 11 and a terminal contact 12 embedded in the terminal shell. The terminal shell is in a cylindrical shape as a whole. In the related art, the terminal shell is formed by stamping a metal plate, and after stamping is completed, a long strip-shaped metal strip 13 is still retained at the tail end of the terminal shell. The tail ends of a plurality of terminal shells 11 are connected side by side with the same metal strip 13 to form a terminal string. The metal strip 13 is further stamped with a positioning hole 131 in the region corresponding to each terminal shell 11. When assembling the terminal shell 11 and the terminal contact 12, a stamping method is usually adopted, and the terminal contact 12 is punched into the terminal shell 11 by using a stamping punch. However, in the stamping process, there is a probability that the stamping punch will deform the front end opening of the terminal shell 11.
[0004] In view of the related art in the above, it is necessary to provide a device capable of restoring the shape of the terminal shell. Invention content
