NOTE: Malfunction when the conductor is not securely fixed
To ensure secure fixing and correct function:
•
Make sure that the stripping length of a conductor without a ferrule, or the insertion
length of a conductor with a ferrule corresponds to the specifications.
•
Crimp the ferrules in a
trapezoidal
way.
Recommended tool:
Crimping tool for trapezoidal crimp
– CRIMPFOX 6
– CRIMPFOX DUO 10
– CRIMPFOX 10T-F
