Open barrel crimp tool help
Does anyone know of a crimp tool supplier for open barrel Faston type terminals which can crimp 9.53mm terminals with cable conductor CSA of 10mm2 (approx. 8 AWG)?
This is the terminal type:
https://brickwerks.co.uk/product/electr ... ith-latch/
At this point I'll happily settle for someone who owns an appropriate tool, knows what a well-executed crimp should look like and will crimp the cable end for me.

Re: Open barrel crimp tool help
Most crimping tools have a non insulated crimp section, they can be fiddly, do you have a crimping tool ?
Re: Open barrel crimp tool help
you can do those with a normal crimper. Just one part at a time.

Re: Open barrel crimp tool help
Yep - it states "3 to 6mm"
So you will struggle with 10mm cable.

Re: Open barrel crimp tool help
10mm2 is a bit wide for those spades. However there are long handle ratcheting crimpers for those spade terminals.
Or there are some hydraulic crimpers with matching jaws on aliexpress

Re: Open barrel crimp tool help
You can get them for 10mm2 cable from Altec, unfortunately they don't supply a tool for crimping them at 10mm2.

Re: Open barrel crimp tool help
Just to be clear, the Brickwerks item is just an example of the terminal type.
This is the terminal I have: ALT/T105/3-3692-1-09

Thanks for the link, although they look similar I'm not certain the crimp shape is correct - the curve on the lower part of the connector looks too broad and I see nothing to suggest the crimp on this tool provides for the flare on the conductor crimp.
I believe they are more for battery lugs than quick-disconnect or 'Faston' style connectors.

seems like it has no section for the insulation crimps:

it looks like those 10mm2 spade terminal crimpers are super rare. I have found this jaw for a crimper:

That will only crimp 9.5mm terminals at 6mm2 - confirmed with Altec tech department.

Hi Zoltan,
Good find, they look like another set I found on Amazon but was a bit hesitant as they don't state terminal width capacity, though I expect at 10mm2 it isn't going to be 6.35mm. They were going to be my option if nothing else comes up.
