Place the contact mating end first into the crimp tool. Insert the wire all the way into the open crimp
barrel making sure that all strands are included. Squeeze the tool handles until the cycle completes
and the tool handles release. Remove the wire and crimped contact.
Contact Insertion:
The Anderson Drawer connectors have pre-loaded contact retention clips in the housing. The contacts
are loaded into the housing from the bottom. Line up the contact with the appropriate hole in the
connector. Insert the mating end of the connector into the hole first. Slide the insertion/extraction tool
over the wire and butt it against the shoulder of the contact. Push the contact into the housing until it
bottoms out. Squeeze the tool slightly and remove. Give a gentle pull on the wire to ensure that the
retention clips are fully engaged.
