contacts crimped on incorrectly lead to continuity resistances
and cause malfunctions or failure of the respective system. The
most frequent applications of these contacts are |
| By using the Crimping Pliers - JPT -VAS1978/9A- or the
Wiring Harness Repair - Crimping Plier - Base Tool -VAS1978/1-2-
