Attached are two pictures, one shows the type of terminals I am trying to crimp, the other shows the three crimpers I have bought, none of which works on these terminals.

The terminals, as best I can determine, are Delphi AF Female Unsealed #12131456 (for wire 18-22). They are to be used in a fuse block with the terminal being the output side of the fuse holder. 
The blue handled crimper is the one sold to me when I bought the fuse block and terminals. The red handled crimper is one that I bought from SteinAir after the red ones didn't work. The other crimper is a Delphi that I bought from Mouser after researching the terminals (and failing with the SteinAir crimper). None of these crimpers even comes close to working. I am inexperienced, but I have crimped "regular" Molex type terminals using the blue handled crimpers, no problem. Everything worked just as expected with the ears turning to dive into the wire strands, etc. But I have ruined at least 10-15 terminals trying to get a satisfactory crimp with these three tools, and none of them seems to work properly. Please see attached pictures. Thanks for any help and advice.

Getting the perfect 'curl-over' with b-crimps
is a bit problematic . . . especially if the
terminal material is thick. My friend Dave
Swartzendruber used to sell that fuse block
to Ford Bronco restoration enthusiasts . . .
I'll drop Dave a note and see what his
experience was with those parts.

Do you have or can you get any extra terminals
as loose parts?

I still have a few extra terminals. Mouser seems to have a minimum order of 20,000 pieces!

Hi;
I suggest the following sequence:
1. Strip off about 5/8" to bare the conductor.
2. Turn the bare conductor back over the insulation to guarantee good contact within the terminal.
3. I noticed there is too much flare on your terminals, so close the flare to at least parallel with pliers. If you don't do this the terminal won't enter the die properly.
4. Insert the wire into the terminal with the bare conductor deepest into the terminal.
5. Crimp the terminal. The final result should look like a U with the legs turned inward almost 180 degrees. These turned inward legs probably will cut through the insulation and make contact with the conductor. They're supposed to, but with the method outlined the connection will function regardless.
Cheers! Stu.

Stu;

If I interpret your explanation correctly, you're advocating trapping the
insulation along with the wire strands in the wire part of the crimp?? If this
is the case DO NOT DO IT. The wire part of the crimp is intended to provide a
homogeneous gas tight mass of copper for long term electrical continuity. Having
insulation material within this portion of the crimp will seriously compromise
the integrity of the connection by allowing air and moisture infiltration. The
insulation should only be within the insulation portion of the crimp and ONLY
the bare copper strands should be in the wire portion of the crimp.

I agree with Bob McC. Do not crimp insulation and bare wire together.

Gentle bear-hug in the insulation grip. Here's
a similar process on a smaller scale.

Bob, I used your instructions for crimping regular molex terminals and it all worked perfectly, but these thicker, tougher terminals just won't cooperate. Here's a link on delphi to a "crimp information sheet"

http://delphi.com/docs/default-source/ecatalog-documents/12131456-crimpinformationsheet-pdf.pdf?Status=Master&sfvrsn=0
I could not find anything helpful on it.

I've been able to further determine that these terminals are "Series III Pack-Con" variety and have ordered an expensive crimper that is supposed to work on them. Soon I will be opening a lightly used crimper store.

Hi Bob;
I may have entered the conversation late, but was commenting on ignition wires. I will recheck mine and see if I have done anything wrong.

My samples came in last week but didn't get
to work with them until today. Here are
the results of terminal installations selecting
from the same spectrum of in-expensive b-crimp
tools in my collection.

The terminal pictured is that 12020334 Pack-Con
Series III female terminal used in a variety
of fuse blocks, relay harness connectors, etc.
This is an 18-20AWG rated device.

I've installed several onto 20AWG Tefzel
with b-crimp tools like the BCT-1, Amp Service
Tool-II, Molex etc.

I was able to produce a satisfactory
wire-grip with pull-out resistance
exceeding 10 pounds.

[img]cid:.0[/img]

Given that these terminals are engineered
for automotive PVC and similar instalations,
the insulation grip flags are a bit
long for Tefzel. I prefer not to use
a b-crimp die but, instead . . .

[img]cid:.1[/img]


[img]cid:.2[/img]

I mold these too-long flags into the 'bear-
hug' I have illustrated for the Mate-n-Lok
and Molex open barrel pins. Yeah, the meal on
this pins is a bit thicker but they behaved
quite civilly with the tools I've used
for years.

[img]cid:.3[/img]

This last shot shows the larger 16-14AWG
terminal installed on a piece of 14AWG
automotive and 16AWG Tefzel with satisfactory
results.

[img]cid:.4[/img]

No special tools needed . . .

Thanks for the report Bob. I wish I could duplicate your results, but on all of mine either the wires pull out easily, or if I use a smaller setting it mangles the terminal. I am assuming that your 10 pound pull out is prior to the insulation crimp, right? I have another tool ordered which should be here this week. I am hoping it works a lot better than the three I have already tried.

  Tool-II, Molex etc.

  I was able to produce a satisfactory
  wire-grip with pull-out resistance
  exceeding 10 pounds.

  Given that these terminals are engineered
  for automotive PVC and similar instalations,
  the insulation grip flags are a bit
  long for Tefzel.  I prefer not to use
  a b-crimp die but, instead . . .

I mold these too-long flags into the 'bear-
hug' I have illustrated for the Mate-n-Lok
and Molex open barrel pins. Yeah, the meal on
this pins is a bit thicker but they behaved
quite civilly with the tools I've used
for years.

 This last shot shows the larger 16-14AWG
 terminal installed on a piece of 14AWG
 automotive and 16AWG Tefzel with satisfactory
 results.

 No special tools needed . . .
