INSULATION CRIMP FORM
This crimp terminal is designed for miniaturization; therefore, each dimension of insulation crimp portion appears
small as compared to the terminal material thickness. In order to avoid insulation piercing the crimp forms by the
insulation barrel, coining is provided inside of the insulation barrel. For this reason, various crimp forms will occur at
the tip of the insulation crimp barrel shown in the figure below.
These crimp forms maybe changed completely by a small change in the wire, insulation punch, or terminal.
These crimp forms are satisfactory for original function of the insulation crimp portion and it is confirmed that all of
these forms below are acceptable insulation crimps.
CONDITIONS:
After crimping, the conductor profiles should measure the following.

Crimping Terminals
1.
Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding charts.
2.
Cut a strip of the terminals approximately 5.0” off the reel. Position the terminal strip into the slot of the carrier
guide with terminals facing forward.
3.
Push the strip in until it locks into the (2) detent in the carrier guide and a terminal is centered with the punch
nest. See Figure 1.
4.
Partially close the jaws of the hand tool by squeezing the handles until you hear the fist click of the ratchet.
5.
From the top of the hand tool insert the pre-stripped wire into the terminal.
6.
Compress the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed.
Release handles to open the jaws.
