Strip the insulation to the proper length sothat conductors can be fully inserted into theconnector barrel.
Strip Length Too Long
Strip Length Too Short
Strip Length Just Right
Strip the insulation carefully to avoid nickingor cutting conductors (wire brush if required).

Determine the proper Color-Keyed ® Connectorfor the cable size being used.• Connectors marked with just cable size or CU
should be used on copper conductors only.
• Connectors marked “AL9”*with the cable sizeshould be used on aluminum conductors only.
• Connectors marked “AL9CU” with the cablesize may be used on the aluminum orcopper conductors.
* Aluminum lugs with a “9” indicate 90 oC rating.
Connectors are marked to show cable size.

Select the proper installingdie and appropriate tool.T&B Connectors have colored bandsor colored dots that correspond tocolor markings on the dies.
Connectors and dies also have a diecode number marked or stamped onthem. Dies have a code numberengraved in the crimp surface

Step Four Installation and Inspection
Battpac™ Battery Powered Compression TBM62BSCR shown.
When properly crimped, the die code number will be embossed on the connector for easy inspection to determine if correct dieand connector combination were used.Thomas & Betts uses “full-width”and “half-width” dies dependenton connector size and tool used.“Half-width” dies are markedwith the letter “H” after thedie code number.
Refer to the instruction sheetsupplied with the connectorsfor information regarding striplength, die selection and numberof compressions required.
When making multiplecrimps, make the first crimpnearest the tongue and worktowards the barrel end.
