Under normal atmospheric conditions, neither a liquid nor a gaseous medium can penetrate into the crimped connection. Oxidation between crimped single conductors is prevented, ruling out nearly any increase in the crimped connection resistance. In some exceptional cases, minute, isolated spaces may be present. These can be considered to be closed off on account of the twisted wires, however. Inadequate crimping can allow the conductor to be pulled out of the connection. Hollow spaces also remain in which oxidation can form. Oxidation leads to an increase in contact resistance. Elevated resistance is detrimental for signal transmission, as the signal flow is damped (weakened), and for power transmission, as power loss and, hence a temperature increase due to contact (risk of fire) can result.Crimping tools with built-in ratchets are recommended, such as the WAGO Variocrimp tools. These tools only open after the crimping process has been fully completed. Space-saving crimping from all four sides is ideal for spring clamp termination.Cross section data for ferruled conductors indicated for WAGO products is based on this crimping method.
