    3.4 Crimping and inserting wires Step 1: Strip wires. Stripped length should be somewhere around 5mm Step 2: Insert the crimp contact into the crimping pliers (die head 0.5mm) and gently grip the contact so that it stays put. Note that the pliers must only “grab” the grip shell on the crimp contact.
  • Page 10 The result should look like the picture below Step 5: Now the crimp the insulating shell (see picture above – in the green box). Insert the crimped wire into the INS portion (or >2.5mm die size of a crimping plier) and apply pressure to the crimping tool.
  • Page 11 Step 6: Pull the watertight grommet over the crimped contact like shown on the picture below: Step 7: Insert the crimped contact with the watertight grommet into the appropriate connector housing. Page 11 of 14...
  • Page 12 Make sure that you hear a click sound and the grommet slides all the way inside (see picture below). Repeat Step 1 through Step 7 until all of the connection are wired. Final step: Insert the end cap into the connector so that it lines up with the outer shell. Page 12 of 14...
