Wiring repair

Crimping

  1. Strip the end of the wire to be crimped
    • SM connectors: about 1mm
    • 2.8 & 6.3 connectors: about 3.5mm
  2. Load the connector into the crimping tool as shown in the center photo
  3. Push the wire into the terminal. The end of the stripped section should not protrude past the jaws of the tool
  4. Crimp the terminal by closing the tool fully. If the wire is still loose in the terminal, move it to a smaller groove in the tool and re-crimp.
