What you need

• M plug spring XH2.54 SM2.54 Crimping Pliers
• XH2.54 or SM2.54 Connections

Steps

1. Check the datasheet to determine the type of connector to be crimped with the pliers.
2. Position the wire correctly in the pliers’ hole, ensuring it is properly inserted and does not protrude.
3. Gently close the pliers around the connector, applying steady pressure until you hear a click or feel that the operation is complete.
4. Check the datasheet to verify that the crimp has been applied correctly and visually inspect to ensure there are no protruding wire parts that could damage the connection.
5. If necessary, repeat the operation with other cables or connectors.
