From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimp_(...)
Crimp Electrical
An electrical crimp is a type of solderless electrical connection
Crimp connectors are typically used to terminate stranded wire. The benefits of crimping over soldering and wire-wrapping include: A well-engineered and well-executed crimp is designed to be gas-tight, which prevents oxygen and moisture from reaching the metals (which are often different metals) and causing corrosion. Because no alloy is used (as in solder) the joint is mechanically stronger. Crimped connections can be used for cables of both small and large cross-sections, whereas only small cross-section wires can be used with wire-wrap
In the first step of crimping, the terminal is inserted into the crimp tool. In the second step, the wire is inserted into the terminal.
In the third step, the handles of the crimp tool are squeezed together, compressing and reshaping the terminal until it is cold-welded onto the wire. If executed properly, the middle of the crimp will be swaged or cold-formed. According to one of the crimp tool manufacturers, the development of standardized crimp tools and procedures occurred on this timeline. 1940's All terminations were soldered (Hard-wired). 1953 AMP introduced Crimp Barrel Terminals. 1957 Cannon Brothers experimented with Machined Contacts with Crimp Barrels. 1960 Buchanan introduced the MS3191-1 4 Indent Crimp Tool with a Ratchet. 1963 MS3191-1 was published as the first Crimp Tool Standard. 1965 MS3191-4 introduced by Daniels Manufacturing Corporation.
Crimp Tools: A wide variety of crimpers (a.k.a. crimp pliers) exist, and they are generally designed for a specific type and size of terminal.
