4.1. Crimping Terminals
DANGER
Avoid personal injury. When operating tool or power unit, exercise caution while holding terminals or wire near the crimping
area.
1. Strip wire to the dimensions listed in Figure 3. DO NOT nick or cut the wire strands.

2. Select the proper color-coded terminal for the wire size (the wire size stamped on the terminal tongue
and on the crimping die must match the wire size selected).
3. Insert stripped wire fully into terminal wire barrel.
The end of the conductor must not protrude more than 1.60 mm [.063 in.] beyond the edge of the wire
barrel.
CAUTION
DO NOT turn or twist the wire or terminal during insertion.
4. Place the terminal in the stationary die with the edge of the wire barrel resting against the locator and
the bottom of the terminal tongue facing the stationary die (see Figure 4).
5. Holding the wire in place, activate tool or power unit to complete crimp.
NOTE
If terminal sticks in the die after crimping, apply a rocking action to the terminal to loosen it from the die. Wipe light oil on the
dies to prevent sticking, or spray dry lubricant.
6. Inspect the crimp according to Section 5.
