Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the kit, ensure you have a dedicated ferrule crimping tool. Using standard pliers is discouraged as it often results in a poor, non-permanent connection.
- Select the ferrule size that matches your wire gauge (AWG/mm²).
- Strip the wire insulation so the copper strands match the length of the metal portion of the ferrule.
- Place the wire into the ferrule.
- Use your crimping tool to apply even pressure across the metal collar.
For care, keep the storage case closed when not in use to prevent dust or moisture buildup inside the compartments. If working in damp environments, ensure your storage area for the kit remains dry to prevent potential oxidation of the metal ferrules over long periods.
