so i started making the wires. the first and only crimp i made was dog **** i think.
dual crimp style terminals, the conductor is being gripped by the crimp things well i think (not sure what to call them but they are the rolled tong things that you crimp onto the conductor), but the conductor is on an angle. its kinda parallel, but definitely on an angle between the tongs. I was thinking it should be underneath the tongs and the tongs would press it against the terminal. i cant find any real good images or videos of what it should look like.
the thing is the horizontal plane the conductor is on is a little above the plane i want it to be on (so it can sit below the tongs), so i would have to bend it right as it comes out of the sheathing, which i dont know if its a good idea or not.
as far as i can tell from triple checking the part numbers, i have the right terminals for the wire i have.
so, the conductor should be under the crimp, right? or does it not matter much? im thinking i want that conductor laying as flat as possible and with as much metal to conductor contact as possible.
thanks
