I find I get a stronger connection if I double over the stripped wire and run half of it under the insulated bit in the insulation channel. This way I have doubled over bit in the wire channel and the stripped conductor making contact along the full length of the bottom of both channels. It more difficult to pull the terminal off as it is then pulling against the grain of the wire strand as well as having to unloop the wire.

100812 – 2 Pin Housing
159266 – Crimp Tool

The links to the Jameco catalog are broken. Since vendors tend to constantly change their websites, it’s probably better to simply mention part names and numbers instead of directly linking to their catalog.

Thanks for the nice article on crimping connectors. But – where do you get those connectors that you can do the “double crimp” technique? I am unable to find them in our local stores.

Thanks, Ken
