Rotate the locator down, snapping the lower tabs on the locator
into the bottom slots on the tool.
1.
Ensure that the wire to be crimped is within the specified range of sizes for the contact and
the crimp tool. Failure to use the specified wire size will result in poor quality crimps and
possible tool damage.
2.
Cut the end of the cable to be terminated so that there is a clean cut end (Figure A). Strip
the cable to the correct length (Figure B). We recommend that when the wire is stripped, it
is clamped or supported close to the stripping area - this will prevent insulation slippage.
Suitable wire strippers (such as a PTFE wire stripper) must be used. This should result in all
the strands lying together neatly. If the lay of the strands is disturbed, it may be re-
imposed with a slight twist.
