How to select the suitable crimping dies

• Before use, please make sure that wire size meets the standard provided by each connector maker and that the configuration and size of terminal is adaptable to the crimping dies.
• Adjust both wings (lugs) of open-barrel to be in parallel before crimping.
• Make sure that the crimp contact retains straight before insertion into a die cavity.
• Do not lay the crimp contact inclined in a die cavity to avoid deforming in crimping work.
• Do not squeeze handles so hard while crimping the insulation portion, which may cause disconnection of wires.

1. Measure the width of conductor barrel or insulation barrel with a caliper while both barrel wings 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:
Align the rear edge of conductor barrel with the chamfered 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.
