WBT CRIMPING TECHNIQUE


Step 1.

Step 1.



Strip wire to approximately 3/4" length. We used Monster custom installation 12awg, 2 conductor speaker wire for this demonstration our part #100-658.

Step 2.

Step 2.




Insert wire into appropriate gauge crimp sleeve. Insulated collar should slide over outside jacket of wire.

Step 3.

Step 3.



Crimp sleeve with the WBT crimp tool (part #093-580) using appropriate slot on tool for the gauge sleeve and wire you are using.

Step 4.

Step 4.




Trim off excess sleeve to desired length. Some WBT connectors require different length crimped ends.

Step 5.

Step 5.



The result should look like this. The crescent shaped crimp forces the copper strands to flow together, thus creating the illusion of a single stranded wire.

Step 6.

Step 6.



The connector is now ready to be put on sleeve. Remove outside collar around connector and insert crimped sleeve into connector body.

Step 7.

Step 7.



Tighten down the torx screws on the connector using the T-6 torx key (# 093-582). The screw closest to the front of the connector secures to the crimp sleeve while the rear connector will tighten down on the collar or insulation as a strain relief.

Step 8.

Step 8.




Screw on outside shell of the connector and installation is complete!
