5. Perform the electrical crimp for the plier type tool
Insulated Terminals and Disconnects
A. Locate terminal in appropriate size color-coded crimp die
pocket with tool centered on insulation sleeve.
(See Note 1, page D1.82)
B. Rotate terminal so tongue is level with crimp die.
C. Insert properly stripped wire into terminal until a minimum of
1/32'' of wire extends beyond the terminal barrel.
D. Squeeze tool handles firmly to perform the electrical crimp.
(See Note 2, page D1.82)
E. Provide second crimp on the flared portion of the insulation housing to
close the insulation as shown. Caution: When using plier type crimping
tools, do not squeeze as firmly as you did for the electrical crimp.
(See Note 3, page D1.82)

3. Select the proper crimp tool to be used
• Use crimping tools that provide a UL Listed and/or CSA Certified electrical termination, to assure a safe and
reliable connection
• Panduit terminals are UL Listed and CSA Certified when crimped with Panduit plier type crimping tool or with the preferred
Contour Crimp
™
Controlled Cycle Crimping Tool specified on the packaging label
1. Select the proper Panduit terminal for the application and wire size used
• Ring terminals are used for high vibration and grounding applications
• Fork terminals are used for static (non-vibration) applications
• Disconnects are used for applications that require quick connection of wires
without the use of tools
• Splices and wire joints are used to join wires together
2. Strip wire to the proper length as specified on:
• Panduit product packaging label
• Packaging instructions included with the Panduit product
• Or if no packaging instructions are available, plan your strip length so that 1/32'' of wire can be seen protruding through
the tongue end of the terminal barrel
4. Select the proper crimp pocket for the terminals and wire size you are using
• Panduit crimping tools simplify this process with color-coded crimp pockets. The yellow, blue, and red pockets are
specifically designed for the industry standard barrel sizes, each with a specific color code.
