Preface
Since the chain terminals and electric wires to be connected vary greatly in type and usage,
it is difficult to provide instructions for all possible crimping combinations and conditions.
This manual, therefore, provides one general guideline for your reference.
Please contact us if you have any questions regarding the use of special wires, the correct
combinations of terminals and wires etc.
1. Checks Before Crimping
Check that all wires, terminals and dies to be used are correct.
(1) Use stranded wire or cord. (Check the wire size and the insulation colour).
(2) Refer to the applicable wires in the catalogue to determine which terminal
type is necessary to match the wires to be used. (Check the model number
and appearance).
(3) Determine which dies match the terminal. (Check that the dies are free from
damage).
Note: Contact us first if you wish to use solid wires, solder-plated wires, wires not
listed as applicable or other special wires.
2. Stripping Wire Insulation
The wire insulation strip length is determined by referring to the figure
over. Set the correct length depending on the terminal used and strip the
insulation with a wire stripper, taking care not to damage the wire conductors.
Bundle the stripped wires in paper to protect the wire strands from bending or
fraying when transported.
