If you want durable crimp connections, you can't afford to make mistakes. For a real quality crimp, you need craftsmanship, coordinated tools, and matching wire-end ferrules. There are also international standards and regulations that set out criteria for a perfect crimp connection. These include DIN EN 60352-2, which also describes the advantages of crimping, how to achieve the necessary tensile strength, and how to avoid typical mistakes. Want to know more? We have compiled the most important information on crimping in our whitepaper.
There are many things you can do wrong when crimping. It starts with the cutting of the conductor. A clean, right-angled, and above all crush-free cut is the best basis for the crimping process. Then remove a piece of the conductor insulation – without damaging the conductor. How much insulation to remove depends on the terminal or contact used. After stripping the insulation, a suitable contact or wire-end ferrule can be crimped onto the end of the cable.
