Working with electrical connections can be tricky, especially if you don’t have the right tools. A secure and reliable crimp is necessary for a proper connection, while a poor crimp can lead to eventual failure. That’s why having the right crimping tool – and using it properly – is crucial for performance and long-term reliability.
When it comes to making reliable electrical connections, selecting the right connector type is crucial. Factors such as environmental exposure, durability and ease of installation all play a role in determining which connector is best suited for your needs.
The most commonly used Kimball Midwest connector types are heat shrink and nylon insulated. Each offers unique advantages, so let’s compare them to help you make an informed decision.
