three separate crimping closures that are color–coded
to match the color–coded terminal/splice for a given
wire range.
Note that Figure 1 indicates the number of dots that
will appear embossed on the crimped terminal or
splice. Observe the dot code on the finished crimp to
ensure that correct terminal/splice and die–closure
combination was used.
3. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
Determine your application requirements. Then, using
the table in Figure 1, make your selection according
to the following instructions:
Wire Size and Insulation Diameter – Make certain the
wire and insulation are within the specified range.
Wire Type and Strip Length – Using stranded wire,
strip it to the length shown. Do NOT crimp wire that
has cut or nicked strands.
Crimp terminal (or splice) as follows:

2. Place terminal (or splice) in dies as shown in
Figure 2 or Figure 3.
3. Close tool handles until terminal or splice is held
firmly in place.
4. Insert properly stripped wire into terminal (or
splice) wire barrel “B” as shown in Figure 2 or
Figure 3.
5. Complete crimp by closing handles until ratchet
releases handles. Handles will open automatically
and crimped item may be removed.
6. To crimp other half of splice, remove it and
reposition uncrimped half in dies as shown in
Figure 3. Follow same procedure used to crimp
first half of splice. (If splice cannot be turned, turn
tool around.)
7. Inspect crimped terminal/splice. Check that
appropriate crimp code dot(s) appears on crimped
area of wire barrel. See Figure 1.
