The Importance of a High-Quality Crimp:
When a crimping tool is used on a terminal, two crimps take place at the same time. One is the electrical connection between the conductor and terminal, and the other is the insulation crimp which provides strain relief against vibration and tension. It is important that the electrical connection is gas-tight without any voids between the wire strands and the terminal. If there are any voids present, corrosion can occur, causing resistance and excessive heat, which damages the electrical connection. Using a good quality crimping tool will ensure that a full, gas-tight crimp is produced, preventing future deterioration of the electrical connection and insulation breakage.
