Troubleshooting
The wire pulls out of the ferrule after crimping.
Ensure you are using the correct crimping tool and that the tool is properly calibrated. Check the ferrule size against the wire size and make sure you've stripped the correct amount of insulation.
The crimped connection is loose.
Check that the wire is fully inserted into the ferrule before crimping and that the correct crimping tool and die are being used. Re-crimp if necessary.
