Selden Swaging of Wire Terminals — Instructions

Marking the Wire

  • Template V-1117 is recommended: insert the wire into the matching tube (3-16mm) against the end stop and make two marks across and one along the wire.
  • Without the template, use the terminal: mark (1) at the terminal hole depth, then mark (2) 2x the wire diameter back from (1), joined by a line along the wire.

Marking the Terminal

  1. Lay the wire alongside the terminal with mark (1) at its edge; mark the terminal at the wire end (3).
  2. Turn the terminal 90° and mark (4), the start point for swaging.
  3. Push the wire fully in: mark (1) must still be visible.

Swaging and Checks

  • Start swaging at mark (4), with mark (1) at the terminal edge. After swaging only mark (2) should be visible.
  • Measure the diameter in 3 places: 90° to the "wings" and close to the wings on each side; the smallest must be within table 1.
  • If the swaged wire goes into a Furlex, swage the terminal two times to make it round, turning it 90° first.
