Wire-end ferrule selection

Match conductor cross-section, ferrule type and ferrule length to the selected tool. Check whether the receiving terminal accepts the finished crimp profile.

Can I use the same range for twin ferrules?

Do not assume a single-wire rating also applies to twin ferrules. Use only the twin-ferrule range explicitly stated for the selected configuration.

How can I confirm the right model before ordering?

Email sales@iwiss.com with the model, application, component size and a photo or part number. For delivery and returns, see our shipping information and returns policy.

Match the terminal, not just the wire gauge

Check the terminal part number, barrel construction, conductor size, insulation support and required crimp geometry. Solid contacts, stamped contacts, ferrules and cable lugs use different tooling. Gauge alone does not establish compatibility.

Preparation and inspection

Identify the terminal and wire; strip to the specified length; position in the matching tooling; complete the operating cycle; inspect and test the first sample before continuing.

Check this configuration before ordering

Send the selected model, component part number, dimensions and a clear application photo to sales@iwiss.com. For a kit, check the supplied-item list; tools or consumables in application images are not automatically included.

Plan a reliable termination

1. Identify

Identify single-wire or twin ferrule, conductor size and barrel length. Check the receiving terminal manufacturer’s ferrule and profile requirements.

2. Prepare & position

Strip to the specified length, retain all strands and insert fully. Use the selected tool within its stated range; do not substitute a larger cavity to accommodate an unsuitable sleeve.

3. Inspect

Check full barrel compression and conductor capture. Confirm the finished ferrule fits the terminal and follow its insertion and clamping instructions.

Common questions before you crimp

Is square or hexagonal crimping better?

Choose the profile accepted by the receiving terminal and suited to its opening. Neither profile is universally better; check ferrule dimensions and the complete connection.

Can I use the single-wire capacity for twin ferrules?

Do not assume so. Confirm the exact twin-ferrule size and the tool’s twin-ferrule rating before ordering or crimping.

Should I buy the tool kit again for a refill?

If you already own a suitable crimper, consider the E-770 ferrule-only option. The HSC8 6-4-KIT already includes 770 ferrules; match the sizes you actually need.
