Re: How does your team crimp terminals?

Quote:
Why do you not standardize the brand/style of crimp connector? Having five different brands kicking around is just asking for problems.
1. Because crimps are expensive, and people hesitate to throw out perfectly good material for the sake of uniformity.
2. I try to do as much purchasing as i can myself, but occasionally another person buys crimps and someone neglects to remember that brand makes a difference (e.g. Ideal crimps vs HF ones).
