CRIMPING PROCEDURE
1.
Ensure that the wire to be crimped is within the specified range of sizes for the contact and the
crimp tool. Failure to use the specified wire size will result in poor quality crimps and possible tool
damage.

2.
Cut the end of the cable to be terminated so that there is a clean cut end (Figure A). Strip the cable
to the correct length (Figure B). We recommend that when the wire is stripped, it is clamped or
supported close to the stripping area - this will prevent insulation slippage. Suitable wire strippers
(such as a PTFE wire stripper) must be used. This should result in all the strands lying together
neatly. If the lay of the strands is disturbed, it may be re-imposed with a slight twist.
