FAQs
What is the recommended tool for crimping the terminals?
For professional and reliable connections, the use of Laser Part No. 7533 crimping tool is recommended. Using incorrect tools may result in poor connections.
Can I use these connectors in very wet environments?
Yes, these connectors feature a red weatherproof seal designed to protect against weather, dirt, and moisture, making them suitable for wet environments.
What is the purpose of the wedgelock?
The plug wedgelock plate is a secondary locking mechanism that secures the terminals within the connector housing, preventing them from vibrating free.
What cable sizes are compatible with the included terminals?
The socket non-insulated terminals included in the kit are designed to suit cable sizes from 0.5 to 1.5 mm² (20-16 AWG).
How do I replace a damaged terminal?
For terminal replacement, use Part No. 37511. Follow the standard installation procedure for crimping and inserting the new terminal.
Are the terminals insulated?
No, the included terminals are non-insulated. Care must be taken during installation to ensure no exposed wires touch other components or grounds.
Troubleshooting
Connector is difficult to mate or unmate.
Ensure terminals are fully seated and the wedgelock is properly inserted and aligned. Check for any debris or damage on the mating surfaces.
Connection feels loose or unreliable.
Verify that terminals are correctly crimped onto the wire and have clicked securely into the connector housing. Ensure the wedgelock is fully engaged.
Weather seal is damaged or missing.
Replace the damaged seal or the entire connector if necessary. Continuous use without a proper seal can lead to internal corrosion and failure. Use a new seal from a compatible kit or Part No. 37511 for terminals.
Terminal does not stay secured in the housing.
Ensure the correct size terminal is used for the cable and that it has been crimped correctly. The wedgelock plate must be fully inserted to provide secondary retention.
