It
is very important to crimp the terminals with the indent on the back
of the barrel, on the side opposite the seam in the barrel, to produce
a solid and reliable connection.
It is also important to pull test
each crimp, with at least 10 lbs of pull. (Imagine two 5lb bags
of sugar...). If a crimp on 18 or larger gauge wire won't take that,
it won't stand up under vibration in use.
After all, where would you rather
find out about it?
