Crimp Connector Techniques: Avoiding Common Mistakes in Wire Crimping

Crimping the wire is both Easy and Essential when dealing with wires. That is, it is the coming together of a wire and an end on a connector and squishing them inside each other so that electricity can pass with only tiny difficulties. When done properly, crimping ensures that connections are solid and secure. But if there is a mistake, the wires might work their way loose or provide bad sparks that can destroy machinery and even cause fires. Good crimping is just as important here at KEFA. That’s why we want to offer tips that will help you prevent some common woes. Learning the proper way to crimp connectors saves time, money and is of utmost importance in ensuring your equipment does not fail prematurely due to insufficient mechanical connection. Let’s be clear about what regularly goes wrong and where you can learn the best ways to do this work. 

What Are The Common Wire Crimping Mistakes To Avoid According To Wholesale Buyers? 

It is also easy to make mistakes sub purchasing a crimp connector in volume that can cause problems down the road. One of the biggest mistakes is using a connector that’s the wrong size for the wire. If the connector is too large, it will not hold the wire securely. Too little, and the wire is easily damaged during crimping; too much, and it may not stay put. For instance, if a heavy wire is jammed into a small connector, the strands of the wire could break and leave a poor connection. Another mistake is not stripping the wire correctly before crimping. Some of those buyers have left much too thick insulation on the wire, so the metal part doesn’t make good contact with the connector. Or they over strip, where there isn’t any insulation left so the wire can short against something else. Plus, using cheap connectors or a wire crimp connectors can botch the job. Cheap connectors may have delicate, thin metal that bends or breaks readily. Tools that don’t do a good job of applying pressure can either crush the wire or leave it slack. People sometimes forget to test the crimp after creating it. Bad crimps remain hidden unless someone pulls a simple tug test or uses a meter, until they start failing in the field. At KEFA, we recommend that all wholesale buyers inspect each batch purchased. Another problem people run into is that they mix connectors and wires, without knowing what's compatible with what. For instance, aluminium wire and copper connectors require special treatment or the connection can oxidise rapidly. They can lead to expensive repairs and unhappy customers down the line. By purchasing from a reputable supplier such as KEFA, you’ll receive the correct parts and some advice to spare you these mistakes. We ensure that every product undergoes rigorous quality examinations. Wholesale customers will want to train their sales people crimping as well. This reduces errors and enhances safety. Learning and practicing wire crimping can save aggrivation later.

Common Wire Crimping Problems and How to Avoid Them with Bulk Cable Making Machine

If working with wire crimping, specifically when creating wholesale cable assemblies, one must know to properly identify and remedy issues as well. When you crimp, you are effectively crushing the wire and crimp connector together with excessive force. If this isn’t done correctly, the connection can be loose or unsafe. Here at KEFA, we want to make sure you know how to stay away from these mistakes and have your cables in tip top shape whenever you need them. 

One of those issues is loose connection. This occurs if the wire is not inserted deep enough into the connector housing. There should be no wiggling or pulling of the wire; such play means a loose crimp. To prevent this from happening, ensure you’re using the correct crimping tool and press down on it until you hear a click sound or feel resistance. Additionally ensure that the wire has been stripped at the correct length before crimping. Too much exposed bare wire, and it might not stay in place; too little, and the connection may be weak. 

Another problem is a pinched wire. There's a risk of breaking the wire strands inside the connector if you squeeze too hard with the crimp tool. This makes for a flimsy connection and can cause the wire to break at some point. To avoid this, you should use a tool specifically designed for the size of wire and connector that you are using. KEFA’s crimping tools provide the perfect pressure so your wires are safe and strong. 

People will occasionally use the wrong size connector for the wire. If the crimp can be pulled out, it’s too big or too loose. Be sure to check the size stamped on both wire and connector prior to beginning. Take the guesswork out of choosing the right parts and get everything you need to finish your kid’s KEFA with one simple order. 

HOW WHOLESALE BUYERS CAN TELL ABOUT CRIMP CONNECTOR COMPATIBILITY & QUALITY? 

If you are purchasing lots of crimp connectors for your business, it's crucial that you know how to select the best ones. Purchasing the wrong connectors can lead to issues like poor connections, electrical problems and wasted money. At KEFA, we want to help wholesale purchasers know what to look for when selecting crimp contacts. 

The first thing to do is verify that the connector can accommodate the size of wire you are planning on using. Wires have various thicknesses, or gauges. What makes a good connector for thick wire is not as good for thin wire and vice versa. Incorrect sizing may result to lose or damage connections. KEFA’s product listings will let you know, in clear terms, which wire sizes go with each connector so you can pick the right one. 

Next, consider the quality of material. Quality connectors are constructed with materials that perform well when conducting electricity and withstand rust or corrosion. The affordable connectors may seem fine, but are made of terrible metals that will wear easily. Crimp connectors by KEFA are produced from the finest copper alloy, which is commonly known to be rust proof after being plated. This ensures that your cables remain secure and can easily be used for a long time. 

The shape of the connector is another feature to consider. Some connectors may be uniquely shaped, or include additional features that help improve soldering performance. For instance, the stop may be included in a connector to prevent an amount of over-insertion of the wire. KEFA develops the best connectors compatible with our crimping tools, so you never have to deal with weak crimps or wire damage.
