The following is a guide to basic crimp techniques - designed to provide for quality terminations and to prevent poor connections. The components of a good connection include:

The crimp height specification is typically set as a balance between electrical and mechanical performance over the complete range of wire stranding and coatings, and terminal materials and …

Crimping is the creation of a homogeneous, permanent connection between the conductor and connecting element. This type of connection is achieved using high-quality precision tools. The …

The above images of crimp failures are only shown as ex-amples and are by no means exhaustive of all possible fail-ures. In every case, relevant product and application speci-fication take precedence.

A terminal crimp is an acceptable electrical connection when a wire and terminal are compressed together with tooling designed specifically for the wire and terminal combination. An acceptable …

We look at the different types of crimp terminals and their characteristics. Hand crimping tools: processing of open crimp barrels. Getting a grip on crimp quality - How to start?

This guide has been produced to help you achieve a perfectly crimped terminal or splice every time. The following pages illustrate the DOs and DON’Ts of crimpling, and highlight the advantages of using …
