How to select the suitable crimping dies

1. Measure the width of conductor barrel or insulation barrel with a caliper while both barrel lugs are adjusted in parallel.

2. Select the die width that is close to the width of barrel lugs measured. Example: 1.5mm measured –>> Select 1.6mm dies.

3.
Conductor Barrel (Lug) Crimping :
It is better to offset the rearmost edge of conductor barrel (lug) 0.1-0.2 mm from the edge of the upper die to form a bellmouth on the edge of the crimped barrel. (as per the figure on the right)

Insulation Barrel (Lug) Crimping :
Set the insulation barrel (lug) at the center of the upper die in depth to keep the barrel (lug) horizontal when crimping.
