| Subject: | 2 AWG crimping tool |
Hello,
I have a question about crimping 2 AWG wire. I was wiring my plane and it came
the time to wire my 2 AWG cable.
For that I bought a crimping tool, this : (Not the best I agree)
http://www.electricianstoolsonline.com/mini-hex-crimper-6mm2-to-50mm2
We can see that is for : 6mm, 10mm, 16mm, 25mm, 35mm, 50mm
Hexagonal crimp
My cable was a 2 AWG mil spec and my terminal is bought on the same website bandc-aero.
I tried to crimp one with the 25mm2 jaw (for me 2 AWG it's 32mm2 ?), cable looked
well maintained but terminal was deformed. With on a side a sharp edge.
So I crimped with the 50mm2, I performed a light traction test it seems to be ok
terminal stay on the wire, but how could be sure that crimp is ok ? It not seems
to be tightened with a good strong deformation.
I ask the question because if it was on my car, I will see with time. But on my
plane, even if I have two battery, (with one small wired with standard small
temrinal) I don't want to try tings.
Thank you in advance to sharing you experience on this subject.
Good flight.
Mickal [Wink]

You can beat it pretty easily with a small propane torch (already in
your tool box), some rosin core solder, a couple of inches of shrink
tubing, and the knowledge that there's no more risk of fatigue damage
with a properly soldered joint & downstream support, than there is with
a crimped joint.

I have crimped them similar to this method but I used a piece of steel with a half-hole
for the anvil
http://www.thebackshed.com/forum/printer_friendly_posts.asp?FID=4&TID=8298
Or do a google images search for crimp large cables and youll see lots of crimpers
If you have a welding supplier nearby, they can crimp those large cables. Welding
cable is often used in battery runs. Very tough and flexible.
