Hi!
I crimped my first wire last night. I have a Crimpaster with a 30-579 die set in it. I hadn't realized that this set is specifically made for insulated terminals. Put the terminal in so it is sticking out of the side with the red, blue, and yellow sizes stamped on it. Squeeze until the ratchet releases, and I have two crimps with one pull, one crimp for the wire and the other for the insulator.
Ideal tech support verified this is the correct way, but they didn't know if this die for insulated terminals could be used for uninsulated terminals, also. It looks like the crimp bay for the insulation would be narrower than that for the wire. This means when using it for a non-insulated terminal, the closest crimp to the terminal end ('1st crimp') would be good, but the '2nd crimp' using the insulation bay would smash it too much. Doesn't seem like it would work.
I forgot to ask about open barrel terminal crimping with this tool. I've got a few of those, but haven't tried any crimping yet.
Ideal lists part #30-586 for a 'non-insulated open barrel' die and 30-580 for 22-8 AWG non-insulated terminals. Would these work? Seems like I would have been better off just getting a crimper that makes one crimp at a time.
