• JST YC-203 Hand Crimping Tool for SLF and SLM Crimp Terminals. Importance of a High-Quality Crimp. When a crimping tool is used on a terminal, two crimps take place at the same time. One is the electrical connection between conductor and terminal. The other is the insulation crimp which provides strain relief against vibration and tension. It is important that the electrical connection is gas tight without any voids between the wire strands and the terminal. If there any voids present, then corrosion can occur causing resistance and excessive heat which damages the electrical connection. Using a good quality crimping tool will ensure that a full, gas tight crimp is produced preventing future deterioration of the electrical connection and insulation breakage. JST YC-203 Hand Crimping Tool - Overview. From JST a durable, reliable and easy to use hand operated crimping tool made from high quality materials. This hand tool consists of two handles, a ratchet mechanism and a precision ground die assembly with two crimping cavities. Ratchet Mechanism. The ratcheting is pre-set to a specific force and remains locked until the handles of the tool are fully closed and the dies are bottomed. The handles cannot be opened until a full crimping cycle is achieved therefore preventing partial crimps. Once the cycle is complete the handles will re-open. The ratchet also enables the operator to repeatedly produce consistent, high-quality crimps. Key Features and Benefits. Durable and easy to use Precision ground dies Ratchet mechanism ensures full crimp cycle is achieved Wire stop for accurate terminal positioning. Questions and Answers.
