FAQs
Are these terminals insulated?
No, these are non-insulated female terminals. You may need to add separate insulation or heat shrink tubing depending on your application.
What tools are recommended for installation?
For optimal sealing and a professional crimp, the use of a specialized ratchet crimping tool like the Laser Part No. 7642 is highly recommended.
What Ford and Volvo connectors are these terminals compatible with?
They are designed for Ford 2-pin fog lamp sensor connectors (equivalent to OEM 8U2Z-14S411-GA) and Volvo 3-pin PAS pump connectors (Part No. 37615).
Can I use these terminals with weatherproof seals?
Yes, these terminals are designed to be used with yellow weatherproof seals, Part No. 37491, for added environmental protection.
What are the dimensions of these terminals?
The overall length is 19.58 mm and the width is 4.03 mm.
Are these terminals suitable for all automotive wiring?
These terminals are specifically designed for certain Ford and Volvo connectors. Compatibility should be verified for other applications.
Troubleshooting
Terminal does not crimp securely
Ensure you are using the correct size terminal for the wire gauge and that your crimping tool is properly adjusted and functioning. Verify the crimp is made on the correct part of the terminal barrel.
Poor electrical connection after crimping
Check for corrosion on the terminal or mating connector. Ensure the wire strands are fully captured within the terminal barrel and that there is good metal-to-metal contact.
Terminal does not fit the connector housing
Verify that you are using the correct terminal for the specified Ford or Volvo connector. Confirm the terminal dimensions (19.58 mm length, 4.03 mm width) are appropriate for the application.
