Does the terminal support insulation crimping? What are the respective requirements for conductor crimping and insulation crimping?

Yes—this terminal supports insulation crimp (insulation crimp) in addition to conductor crimp, provided the insulation outside diameter (OD) and stripping procedure fall within the specified ranges.

1. Insulation crimp capability The terminal is designed with an insulation barrel / strain-relief area to grip the insulation and provide strain relief. Correct insulation crimp helps prevent issues such as cable pull-out, insulation slip, and stress concentration at the conductor crimp.
2. Requirements for conductor crimp (metal barrel) Conductor crimp should:

Form the conductor barrel into the specified profile (e.g., controlled indent/closure) without cutting strands or damaging the plating. Be completed with correct crimp height/width (indent depth) and within the datasheet tolerances. Achieve required performance: pull-out strength meets the terminal spec electrical continuity/contact resistance (if applicable) meets customer requirements Be compatible with the specified conductor type and size (solid/stranded, AWG/mm²) and the stripping length. 3) Requirements for insulation crimp (insulation barrel / strain relief) Insulation crimp should:

Properly capture the insulation with the specified coverage and compression (strain-relief), without cracking the insulation or causing excessive deformation. Ensure there is sufficient insulation capture but not so aggressive that it cuts insulation or exposes conductor. The insulation crimp must meet defined visual/dimensional acceptance criteria such as: no insulation tear no visible gaps/insulation slip at the strain-relief area correct insulation barrel formation (height/width or gauge check, if provided) 4) What we need from you to confirm exact tolerances To state the exact insulation/crimp acceptance criteria, please provide:

Terminal part number (datasheet) Wire type: conductor size (AWG/mm²), solid/stranded and conductor material/finish Insulation OD and insulation material type Your process: conductor stripping length and crimp machine setup (or intended tooling) Then we can provide the exact strip length, insulation crimp coverage/formation targets, and the separate pass criteria for conductor crimp vs insulation crimp (including CTQs and test methods).
