Precaution For Crimping Process
The following instructions describe the procedure to be adopted when crimping terminals or contacts onto wires. Please read the relevant connector and application tooling Handling Manuals prior to terminating the connector. If you need any further information, please contact JST.
1. Crimping tools
When JST chain terminals are crimped or terminated with wires, always use application tooling specified by JST. If this process is conducted using application tooling other than that specified, product defect and failure may occur. JST cannot accept any liability for failures due to the use of non-JST application tooling.
2. Applicable wires
Before starting the crimping process, please confirm that the wire to be used is within the range of the chosen crimping terminal. As a rule, applicable wires for crimping connector are tin-plated annealed copper stranded wire. Bare copper wire, solid wire, tin-coated wire, shielded wire and so on are out of range. However, it is possible to use other wires if they are checked for compatibility with the chosen crimping terminal.
[Cautions] (1) Take care to prevent cutting of wire conductors, uneven stripping length and insufficient cutting of the insulation. (2) Ensure the strands do not spray come apart.

Wire barrel
2) Crimping height for wire barrel Set the crimping height of the wire conductor barrel within the range specified by JST. 3) Crimping height for insulation barrel Adjust the crimping height of the insulation barrel in relation to the outer diameter of the wire insulation and wire type. Determine the range of crimping height for insulation barrel so that it is not crimped excessive nor too loosely.
Insufficient crimping Wire insulation is easily pulled from the terminal when applying tension to the wire.
Good
Excessive crimping The barrel edges cut into the wire & damage the conductors.

Check: Cut off the insulation support and remove the wire insulation, then check the wire conductors for damage. Check the conductors
Cutting Remove insulation for damage

Twist
Check the angle of twist at the wire barrel.
