Re: How does your team crimp terminals?
#1 thing to do to avoid failed crimps is to not use insulated terminals.

#2 is to use a ratcheting crimper, with a die intended for the wire gauge and uninsulated terminals, they give extra leverage and don't release until the crimp has been completed.

#3 is a little dab of solder on those crimped un-insulated terminals before you cover them with heat shrink.
