With those dies mentioned in Table 3a only Klauke cable lugs and connectors „Standard 
type“ are supposed to be crimped. Crimping of commercial cable lugs and connectors of 
other suppliers will not result in a perfect crimp. 
 
The same is valid for conducting material table 3j. No guarantee can be given for crimping 
C-clamps of other suppliers. 
 
Despite the same code numbers the compression width for copper and aluminium cable lugs 
and connectors is different. Besides the marking of the dies the surface plating also differs.
