INSTALLING FACTORY STYLE TERMINALS
In the parts kit, you will see uninsulated
female terminals. These terminals are for
the
10-pin connector
shell
included in the
Track Rocker Fuse/Relay Center
parts
kit, and require roll over crimpers.

of insulation off of the
wire.
Insert the wire into the terminal. There
are two terminal straps on the terminal. For
instructional purposes, we will label them 1
and 2. Strap 1 crimps the exposed copper
strands of the wire, while strap 2 crimps
the wire insulation. Make your strip length
long enough to ensure only copper strands
are crimped by Strap 1 but short enough
that only insulation is crimped by Strap 2.
The photo to the left best demonstrates
this.
Using the appropriate jaw on the
crimpers, crimp Strap 1. The appropriate
jaw depends on the wire gauge as well as
the terminal stiffness. If you are unsure
which jaw to use, you can always start with
the biggest and work your way down until
you get a tight crimp.
With Strap 1 crimped, move onto
crimping the insulation strap: Strap 2.
Place Strap 2 into the appropriate jaw of
the crimpers. This jaw will be
larger than the one used to crimp
the first strap. Crimp down on
Strap 2 making sure the strap
folds down into the wire, and not
overlapping itself. Refer to the
drawing to the left. Overlapping
could cause problems with the
terminal fitting into the factory
connector.
