INSTALLING FACTORY STYLE TERMINALS
In the parts kit, you will see uninsulated
male terminals. These terminals are for 12-
pin connector shell 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
stands 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 downward 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.
