FAQs
What cable sizes are compatible with these terminal covers?
These covers are designed for use with cables ranging from 1.5mm² to 2.5mm² in cross-sectional area.
What is the purpose of the green seal?
The green seal is designed to create a weatherproof barrier when crimped onto the non-insulated terminal and cable, protecting the connection from moisture, dust, and corrosion.
What tools are recommended for installation?
For optimal results, a ratchet crimp tool with specific wide stepped jaws is recommended, such as Laser Part no 7248. This tool is designed to crimp both the terminal and the seal effectively.
Can these covers be reused?
These terminal covers are intended for a single installation to create a secure, permanent seal. They are not designed for removal and re-installation.
Where are these terminal covers typically used?
They are commonly used in automotive applications to protect cable connections on sensors, light bars, headlights, electric windows, and most under-the-bonnet wiring.
Are these covers suitable for all weather conditions?
Yes, they are designed to provide weatherproof protection and are suitable for various automotive environments, including under-bonnet applications exposed to elements.
Troubleshooting
Seal does not appear to be watertight after crimping
Ensure the correct crimp tool (e.g., Laser Part no 7248) is used. Verify that the tool is properly adjusted and that sufficient force was applied to crimp both the terminal and the seal simultaneously. Check that the wire size is within the specified range (1.5mm² - 2.5mm²).
Terminal does not click securely into the housing
Confirm that the correct Delphi terminal and housing are being used. Ensure the terminal was properly seated and crimped, and that the seal does not obstruct the terminal's locking tab. Inspect the housing for any damage.
Wire pulled out of the terminal
The terminal was likely not crimped securely to the wire. Re-crimp the terminal using an appropriate tool, ensuring a solid mechanical connection. If the seal was already crimped, it may need to be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select the appropriate non-insulated terminal for your cable size (1.5mm² - 2.5mm²).
- Insert the stripped wire end into the terminal and crimp securely using a suitable crimp tool.
- Slide the green weather seal onto the wire, positioning it over the non-insulated part of the terminal.
- Using a compatible ratchet crimp tool, such as Laser Part no 7248, crimp the seal firmly onto the terminal and cable. The tool's design ensures both the terminal and the seal are crimped effectively for a weatherproof connection.
- Click the terminal, now sealed, into the corresponding Delphi connector housing.
Compatibility:
- Cable Size: Compatible with 1.5mm² to 2.5mm² automotive wiring.
- Terminals: Designed for use with non-insulated Delphi-style terminals.
- Applications: Ideal for sensors, light bars, headlights, electric windows, and general under-bonnet wiring.
Care:
- These terminal covers are designed for one-time installation to create a permanent seal.
- Inspect existing installations periodically for signs of physical damage or degradation, though the durable material offers long-term protection.
- Keep the covers clean from excessive dirt or debris to ensure the integrity of the seal.
