Permanent Identification 3. Select the proper crimping die and crimping tool to be used with the connector. Use crimping tools and dies that provide a UL Listed and/or CSA Certified electrical termination, to assure a safe and reliable connection. Many Panduit compression connectors are UL Listed and CSA Certified when crimped with Panduit and specified competitor crimping tools and dies. These tools and dies are listed in the tool charts* in this catalog. Panduit crimping tools and dies to be used with each connector are also listed on the installation instructions included with Panduit product packaging. Panduit compression connectors are color-coded and marked with Panduit and specified competitor die index numbers. Select the proper crimping die to be used by matching the color code and die index number marked on the connector to the same markings on the crimping die. 4. Crimp the connector. Insert the conductor into the barrel of the connector. The conductor should stop against the end of the barrel of the lug, or wire stop in the butt splice, upon complete insertion of the conductor in the barrel. Some lugs are offered with inspection windows that provide visual inspection of the complete conductor insertion. Review the installation instructions included with the Panduit product packaging or the tool charts* for the proper number of crimps to be placed in the connector. Make the first crimp in the barrel nearest the tongue of the lug, or wire stop in a butt splice, and make successive crimps in the barrel working towards the conductor entry at the end of the barrel. Use the color-coded or knurled band markings on the barrel of the connector to evenly space the placement of the crimps in the barrel. When properly crimped, the die index number engraved in the crimping die will be embossed into the barrel of the connector. The crimp should be placed in the connector so the die index number can be easily read when the connector is installed. *See tool charts on pages D3.56 – D3.94. 1. Select the proper Panduit compression connector for the conductor type and size being used. • Panduit compression connectors are identified with the proper conductor size and conductor type marked on the tongue or barrel of the connector • The proper conductor size and type to be used with each connector can also be found in the installation instructions included with Panduit product packaging and in the tool charts* in this catalog 2. Strip the conductor to the proper strip length. As specified: • On the Panduit product packaging label or • On the installation instructions included with Panduit product packaging or • In the tool charts* in this catalog Make sure the conductor is not stripped too long, which would result in exposed wire between the barrel of the connector and the cable insulation. Make sure the conductor is not stripped too short, which would result in a less than complete contact area with the connector when the conductor is inserted in the barrel. Do not nick or cut strands of conductor during crimping, which would result in a less than premium conductor termination. Make sure conductor strands are free from corrosion.
