Re: Ferrules with Weidmuller Connectors on PCM/VRM/roboRio

We had mixed results using wire ferrules last year, and the inconsistency came from one of the two crimpers we used.

One of our crimpers left a smooth surface on the crimped ferrule, and they tended to pull out of the spring-loaded Wago/Weidmuller type connectors pretty easily. The other crimper put a series of ridges across the crimped ferrule, and these were retained much better by the spring-loaded connectors.

The ridged termination crimper is Pressmaster part number DEB-0560.
