Proper sta Kon termination

IIRC, the hump is supposed to go on the underside, i.e. the non-welded side of the barrel.
Just to make sure, you do know the "hump" die is only for crimping non-insulated terminals, right? The insulated terminal die has a rounded depression for both top and bottom halves.

Thank you, Sir.
Always wondered about that.
BTW, If a current IIRC is not available in the public domain, are there any other reasons to buy a copy if not used in my jusisdiction?
Is it possible to show a picture of the positioning? So the crimper on my pliers is only for noninsulating? Thanks a bunch
Note AFAICT picture is not of a Sta Kon brand crimp pliers. It is only to demonstrate positioning and perhaps to verify the hump die is only for use with a non-insulated crimp barrel.
To hazard a guess in reply to his question, I'd say no.
PS: I mentioned weld seam previously and the picture above shows a butt seam. Implementation is the same, but I just wanted to note this for clarity... especially because some welded seams are difficult to determine where the seam is located. The following picture shows a brazed seam. The barrel is always rolled (at least for small gauge wire crimp terminals), so the seam is always on the side opposite the terminal end... and in the case of a butt splice, IME it is the side opposite the wire stop in the middle.

Oops, laughing (LMAO) turns out to be a good way to start the day.
After speaking the Kings English for 50 years, can't believe I'm still learn this language.
