How to Crimp Sta-Kon Non-Insulated Terminals with the ERG4008 Tool

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for using the ERG4008 COMFORT CRIMP® tool to install Sta-Kon® non-insulated terminals on #8-1/0 AWG wires, including essential safety warnings and basic maintenance tips.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

ERG4008 COMFORT CRIMP® Tool, Wire strippers, Clean brush or soft, lint-free cloth

Supplies needed:

Sta-Kon® Non-Insulated Terminals, Electrical wire (#8-1/0 AWG), SAE No. 20 motor oil

  1. Select the Correct Die Nest

    Open the tool handles fully. Depress the die wheel release button and rotate the wheel to align with the proper die nest for your specific Sta-Kon® non-insulated terminal and wire gauge (e.g., 8 AWG, 6 AWG, 4 AWG, 2-1 AWG). Release the button to ensure the wheel locks into position.

  2. Insert Terminal and Wire

    Insert the Sta-Kon® non-insulated terminal into the selected die nest. Close the handles slightly to secure the terminal without deforming it. Insert the stripped wire completely into the terminal barrel.

  3. Crimp the Terminal

    Close the tool handles firmly until the SHURE STAKE® mechanism cycle is fully completed. Perform two equally spaced crimps on the terminal barrel to ensure a secure and reliable connection. For larger wire and terminal combinations, use the Crimp Assist™ foot against a flat work surface for increased leverage.

  4. Observe Safety Precautions

    Always remember that the tool handles are non-insulating; never crimp on hot energized wires. Keep all body parts away from the die nest during the crimping procedure to prevent injury.

  5. Perform Basic Tool Maintenance

    Regularly remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants from the tool with a clean brush or lint-free cloth. Apply a thin coat of SAE No. 20 motor oil to all pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces, avoiding excessive oiling. Keep handles closed when not in use and store the tool in a cool, dry area.
