CRIMPING
To achieve the strongest crimp possible, it is required
to bend the crimp tabs over about 90° using needle
nose pliers (Figure 6). Follow the instructions for the
terminal you are using.
STANDARD TERMINALS
1. After stripping the sleeve, fold the conductor back
along the wire insulation (Figure 7).
2. Do not allow the conductor to pull tightly against
the insulation. A small gap around the conductor
should be present before crimping. Slide the wire
into the terminal with the conductor positioned
so it is in contact with the bottom of the terminal.
Position the wire through until the insulation
protrudes about 1/8" beyond the crimp tabs.
3. Position the wire and terminal into the "W" groove
of the Mini-Stripper Crimper and crimp.
DUAL CRIMP TERMINALS
1. After stripping the sleeve, position the wire in
the terminal so the insulation protrudes about
1/8" beyond the insulation crimp tabs and the
conductor extends about 1/8" past the conductor
crimp tabs (Figure 8).
2. Position the wire and terminal into the "W" groove
of the Mini-Stripper Crimper and follow Steps 4 - 6
to crimp the terminal to the sleeve.
Note: It is normal for the conductor to retract into
the insulation slightly as the sleeve crimp is
made.
3. After the sleeve is crimped, push the conductor
between the crimp tabs and use a set of
needlenose pliers to crimp them together. DO
NOT OVER CRIMP.
4. Slide the other part of the Mini-Stripper-Crimper
over the wire terminal and lightly press them
together (Figure 9).
5. Put the assembly into a vise making sure the
alignment tabs are on the outside edge of the
vise jaws (Figure 9).
