Brock:
How to crimp a wire to an insulated faston connector

Strip the wire back 7mm, and give the wire a bit of a twist to tighten the lie. Take note of the crimper jaws, some are designed to have parts that crimp the wire into the terminal and the tail of the crimp on to the insulation to support the wire. These jaws are polarised for this task.


Its sometimes easier to secure the crimp in the crimper jaws



note the metal shoulder inside the crimp, these are the preferred type.

The finished job

Brock:
Uninsulated faston, the type used in plugs, and relay sockets, strip back 7mm



in the crimping tool



Finished product

Brock:
110 Plug pin, strip wire 5mm. These are the plug type used all over the bike. I would suggest that 3 mm diameter wire would be the maximum for these pins, as the crimp action wont work properly on larger, 4mm may work at a pinch 5mm no. 16 gauge aircraft wire will fit, as the insulation is thinner.
