The main advantage of crimping
is that no heat or soldering is required.
It can be done in the middle of a field. Choose the correct size wire and crimp tag for the job. Avoid whiskers. Ensure that there is a small
amount of bare wire visible either side of the crimp.
Fit one lead only into each tag. Some crimps tags have one
crimp for the wire and a second one for the insulation.
Rubber or heat shrink sleeving can be fitted to improve insulation and SPRINGYNESS. Ensure that this sleeving is not trapped under screw heads or nuts when fitting the lead. |
