5. Operating Instructions

Follow these general steps for crimping. Specific procedures for different connector types are detailed below.

5.1 General Crimping Steps

1. Prepare the Wire: Strip the insulation from the end of the wire to the appropriate length for the terminal. Ensure the stripped wire is clean and free of frayed strands.
2. Select Terminal and Die: Choose the correct terminal for your application and identify the corresponding crimping slot on the tool's jaws.
3. Insert Terminal: Place the terminal into the designated crimping slot. Ensure it is seated correctly and held securely by the tool.
4. Insert Wire: Insert the stripped wire into the terminal. The wire strands should be fully within the crimp barrel.
5. Crimp: Squeeze the handles of the crimping tool firmly until the ratchet mechanism releases. This ensures a complete and secure crimp.
6. Inspect Crimp: Remove the crimped terminal and inspect it for proper formation. The wire insulation should be crimped by the rear barrel, and the conductor by the front barrel.

5.2 Dupont 2.54mm Terminal Crimping Procedure

This procedure applies to Dupont 2.54mm terminals for AWG 32-22 (0.03-0.34mm²) wires.
