Yellow crimp terminals have specific characteristics that differentiate them from red and blue terminals. Yellow terminals are suitable for use with cables that have a conductor size between 4 and 6 mm². They correspond to AWG 12 – 10. AWG stands for American Wire Gauge and indicates the thickness of the wires within the cable. The lower the AWG number, the thicker the wire. AWG also helps determine how much electrical current a cable or wire can handle without overheating or burning through. 

To attach a crimp terminal to a cable, use a specialized crimping tool. Attaching an insulated crimp terminal involves the following steps: 

Remove approximately 7 mm of the cable insulation using an appropriate cable stripper. Work carefully to avoid damaging the wires or the cable itself. Do not twist the wires together, as this can compromise the connection’s reliability. 

Slide the terminal over the stripped wires. Ensure that all strands are fully inserted into the metal sleeve. 

Use the crimping tool to firmly secure the terminal. The tool will release once the crimp is done correctly and securely. 

Verify that the terminal is firmly and securely attached to the cable. A proper connection is essential for reliable performance.

Note: Make sure all components are clean before assembly. Use a small brush to clean the conductors if necessary. Remove any metal particles that could cause contact corrosion.
