What is the effect of using a crimp die that is too large?

Using a crimp die that is too large can result in a connection that does not adequately deform the metal conductor or terminal. This lack of proper deformation can lead to a loose connection, which increases resistance at the joint. Increased resistance results in poor electrical performance, as the electrical current may not flow as efficiently. Additionally, a loose connection is more susceptible to environmental factors such as heat and vibration, which can further degrade the connection over time. Therefore, the poor electrical performance associated with using an oversized crimp die highlights the importance of selecting the correct size for achieving optimum conductivity and reliability in electrical connections.
