A thicker wire connected to a thinner one usually fails for one of three reasons: too much current, the wrong connector, or no strain relief. When any of those gaps slip into the splice, you can end up with a high-resistance joint that overheats, loosens, corrodes, or breaks. The following pages illustrate the DOs and DON'Ts of crimpling, and highlight the advantages of using matched cable, terminal and tooling from the extensive AMP product range The following is a guide to basic crimp techniques - designed to ensure quality terminations and to prevent poor connections.
