2. Orient all terminals with the dies so the large slot
in the terminal is rotated 45° from the vertical as
shown in Figure 3B.
3. First Crimp - Position the terminal so the edge of
the stationary die is aligned with the outer crimp
location mark as shown in Figure 3B(a).
4. Activate the power unit so the moving die
advances and holds the terminal in place. Do NOT
deform the terminals.
5. Insert a stripped wire all the way into the terminal
wire barrel.
CAUTION
! Do NOT allow the wire insulation to enter the barrel of
the terminal.
6. Activate the power unit to complete the first
crimp.
7. Second Crimp - Position the terminal so the edge
of the stationary die is aligned with the inner crimp
location mark as shown in Figure 3B(b).
8. Activate the power unit to complete the second
crimp.
9. Refer to Section 3 and Figure 5 fro crimp
inspection.

1. Ensure the wire size stamped on the terminal
corresponds with the wire size stamped on the dies.
2. Orient the terminal with the dies so the large slot
in the terminal is rotated 45° from the vertical as
shown in Figure 4A.
3. First Crimp - Position the terminal so the dies are
centered between the crimp marks on the wire
barrel of the terminal as shown in Figure 4B(a).
4. Activate the power unit so the moving die
advances and holds the terminal in place. Do NOT
deform the terminal barrel.
5. Insert a stripped wire all the way into the terminal
barrel.
iNOTE NOTE
For larger sizes:
(a) Recommend use of PTFE spray on both crimping
dies and the terminal before crimping for easier removal
after crimping. When using the PTFE spray on the
terminal, cover the hole of the terminal by masking tape
to prevent lubricant oil to be soaked inside the terminal.
(b) Recommend the use of a rubber mallet to detach the
terminal from the die after crimping if the terminal is
difficult to detach by hand.
CAUTION
! Do NOT allow the wire insulation to enter the barrel of
the terminal.

6. Activate the power unit to complete the first
crimp.
7. Remove the terminal from the die.
8. Before making the second crimp on the terminal,
it will be necessary to either:
• Turn the terminal around
• Turn the crimping head around
• Turn the die set around
9. Second Crimp - Position the terminal in the die as
shown in Figure 4B.
10. Activate the power unit to complete the second
crimp.
11. Refer to Section 3 and Figure 5 for crimp
inspection.
3. CRIMP INSPECTION
Inspect crimped terminals by checking the features
described in Figure 5. Use only terminals meeting the
conditions shown in the “ACCEPT” column. “REJECT”
terminals can be avoided through careful use of
instructions in Section 2, and by performing regular die
maintenance as instructed in Section 4.
