Pro-Tip: To ensure a perfect electrical connection, always verify the wire gauge matches the terminal size. When crimping, place the terminal in the correct nest (Insulated or Non-Insulated) and apply steady, firm pressure until the crimp is fully formed. A small "tug test" after crimping is a great way to ensure the connection is mechanically secure before final installation.
