How to Use the CT-1550 Crimping Tool

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for crimping insulated terminals and splices using the CT-1550 crimping tool.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Insulated terminals, Wire connectors, Stripped wire

  1. Prepare the crimping tool

    With the handles in the closed position, rotate the locator until the narrow slot is centered between the crimp pockets. Ensure the locator locks in this position.

  2. Insert the terminal

    Insert the terminal into the appropriate crimp pocket with the back of the terminal tongue facing the color dots. Ensure the tongue slides into the locator slot.

  3. Crimp the terminal

    Close the handles until the barrel is held snugly in place without deforming it. Then, insert the stripped wire into the terminal until it stops in the recessed slot and crimp by closing the handles until the controlled cycle mechanism releases.

  4. Inspect the crimp

    After crimping, visually inspect the crimp for proper formation. Ensure that the visual inspection dots are present on the insulation sleeve.

  5. Repeat for additional terminals

    For splices or additional terminals, repeat the insertion and crimping process as necessary, ensuring to follow the same steps for each.
