The terminals supplied feature a new Dual Crimp Terminal. The benefits of the new wire terminal is that the
conductor has its own crimp to the terminal so it does not need to be bent over and pressed between the
terminal and the sleeve of the plug wire. Following is a new crimp procedure for the Dual Crimp Terminal.
1. Strip approximately 1/4" of sleeving from the wire. When using the Mini-Stripper-Crimper, do not push the
wire all the way into the tool to strip it. Note: Use extreme care not to damage the conductor.
2. Follow the standard instructions to crimp the terminal to the sleeve of the wire. Do not use the MiniCrimper to crimp the conductor.
3. Position the conductor between the “conductor tabs” of the terminal. Using needle nose pliers, push the
tabs towards each other so they firmly grip the conductor. Make sure the conductor does not squeeze
out as you apply pressure to the tabs.
