• Crimp connection
A crimp connection is a non-detachable electrical connection
between a wire and a crimp contact produced with the crimp
technology. Precise crimping dies which are matched to the
crimp barrel and the wire size and a defined deformation result
in a reliable electrical connection.
There are open crimp barrels (stamped contacts) and closed
crimp barrels (turned contacts).
• Efficient termination of contacts.
• Reproducible termination achieve consistent electrical
and mechanical results
The requirements for crimp connections are defined in
DIN EN 60352-2, IEC 60352-2.
An important point of the quality of a crimp connection is the
achieved tensile strength of the termination.
Easily measured, the tensile strength is a practible means for
quality control purposes.
Diagram 2 below shows the required minimum tensile strength for
open and closed barrels depending on the wire size.

Assembly instructions
For crimp contacts use the released crimp tool.
The insertion and extraction of crimp contacts shall only be
approved with the corresponding insertion / extraction tool.
A detailed description of the crimp technology can be
found in our crimp tooling catalogues.
Crimp contacts are in this catalogues on page 23/24.
