- Base Tool -VAS1978/1-2- with the Wiring Harness Repair Set -
Crimping Head - JPT -VAS1978/9-1- installed. Due to the low
current strengths of these wires in the micro- to milli- range,
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-
with the Wiring Harness Repair Set - Crimping Head - JPT
-VAS1978/9-1- installed, the correct connection between crimp
contact, wire and single wire seal is guaranteed. The tool is to
be used only for the purpose described. |
