Automotive manufacturers over the past 50-odd years have consistently created effective and airtight terminal installations by crimping or deforming terminals' barrels to capture the wire strands.

Precision crimping techniques prove crucial to the optimal performance of heat-shrink electrical connectors. A poor crimp can lead to a loose wire that draws excessive amps and overheats. A punctured ...

Crimping involves applying significant compressive forces onto the crimp connector and the wire, so the malleability of each element is an important factor in crimp quality.

This is the ACCEL 300+ Pro Crimp tool, which comes with three separate sets of dies. One set is for spark-plug wire terminals, and the other two are for crimping primary wire.

Of course, sometimes people do silly things. Even though there are pre-crimped wires available online for a pittance, you might still want to do your own.

Crimping is the preferred method of attaching a wire terminal end to wire, and the use of a high-quality tool such as MSD’s Pro Crimp performs the job very similar to expensive crimping ...

Roy Becker, senior broadcast engineer at the Bible Broadcasting Network, offers a tip for engineers wiring high-density terminal blocks such as those used by Radio Design Labs. Crimped terminal pins ...

Not long after I began contributing to Hagerty eight years ago, I wrote a detailed four-part piece on electrical relays and ...

Generally, nonrotating wire contacts on screw-terminated connectors handle 12 through 30 awg solid or stranded wire.
