Automatic Single-End Wire Crimping and Housing Insertion Machine with Opposite-End Tinning, AWG 28–20 WM-362S
The WM-362S turns bulk wire into finished connector pigtails in one cell — it cuts, strips, crimps the terminal, inserts it into the housing and twists and tins the free end. It covers wire of 0.8–2.0 mm outer diameter (AWG 28–20), cut lengths from 40 to 2,000 mm and strip lengths of 0.5–10 mm, producing 2,200 pieces per hour at 1.6 seconds each. A 2 T crimping unit, vibratory housing feeder and vision inspection computer with terminal-presence and defect detection keep bad pieces out of the output tray.

| Electrical configuration | We configure the machine’s electrical supply for your installation before shipment. Your quote confirms the voltage, phase, frequency, current and the power cord with plug or industrial connection for your site. Common site supplies are 120 V, 60 Hz with grounded Type B outlets in the US and Canada, with 208 V or 240 V also found at industrial sites. The UK and Ireland use 230 V, 50 Hz with Type G. Australia and New Zealand use nominal 230 V, 50 Hz with Type I, and some Australian sites list 240 V. Three-phase installations in the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand commonly use 400 V at 50 Hz, with 415 V at some Australian sites. |
| Lead time | Your quote confirms the machine configuration, included accessories and dispatch date. |
| Warranty and support | One-year machine warranty and free remote video support for the life of the equipment. |
| Wear parts | For wear parts, every quote lists them with unit price and the location they ship from. |
| HS Code | 8463.90 (common reference — final classification confirmed by your customs broker) |

Key features
- One cell replaces a bench line — cutting, stripping, crimping, housing insertion plus twisting and tinning of the free end come out as a finished pigtail every 1.6 seconds
- Vision inspection computer, terminal-presence check and defective-product recognition sort faulty pieces out automatically, so what reaches your assembly line is usable
- Vibratory bowl feeder orients and presents housings continuously — no operator loading connectors one by one
- Servo wire feed from a multi-spool pay-off stand covers AWG 28–20 wire and cut lengths up to 2,000 mm without changeover parts
What it processes
- Board-to-wire connector pigtails with the housing on one end and a tinned free end
- Appliance, fan and controller harness leads in the AWG 28–20 range
- Electronics factories replacing separate crimping, insertion and tinning benches with one automatic cell
Suited for: high-volume single-ended connector pigtails — small-pitch board-to-wire housings on AWG 28–20 wire with the free end twisted and tinned, produced unattended at 2,200 pieces per hour. For other jobs and machine options: double-end housing insertion or heavy power terminals beyond 2.0 mm wire OD — for double-end work, pick the WM-376 double-end crimping and housing insertion machine, which seats AWG 32–16 wire in housings on both ends; the larger models among the terminal crimping machines take the heavy terminals.
Connector fit is the make-or-break detail on this class of machine: send 2–3 meters of your wire plus samples of your terminal and housing, and we run them on this machine on video before you commit. For a WM-362S quote, share the connector or component part number and a photo of the assembly you need. We can start the configuration review from the finished part.
Engineering knowledge
Choose and troubleshoot this process
- Ferrule Crimping: Strip Length, Terminal Fit and Chain-Fed vs Loose-Fed MachinesCompare chain-fed and loose-ferrule crimping machines by wire preparation, changeover, terminal fit and batch output. Check WM-3243 and WM-3246 specifications.
- Crimp Applicator Parts: Shut Height, Stroke and Tooling FitIdentify crimp applicator parts and separate shut height, press stroke and finished crimp height before reusing tooling or ordering a bench press.
- Can a Crimping Line Fit Different Terminals at Each End?Specify double-end crimping with separate end-A and end-B requirements, lead-length references, component feeds, changeover and finished-part inspection.
WM-362S — common questions
What comes out of the machine — how finished is each piece?
A complete single-ended pigtail. One end is stripped, crimped and the terminal pushed into its housing cavity in the programmed order. The other end is stripped, twisted and dipped in the solder pot. Cut length runs 40–2,000 mm, so both short jumpers and long leads come out ready for assembly.
How does it stop bad crimps from reaching my line?
Four layers — an air-pressure alarm, terminal-presence detection at the crimp station, defective-product recognition and a visual inspection computer that checks pieces against the taught reference. Rejects are separated automatically instead of being counted into the batch.
Can it insert terminals into housings on both ends of the wire?
No — the WM-362S is a single-head machine, so only one end gets a housing while the other end is tinned. If your harness needs housings or terminals on both ends, see the double-end machines in the terminal crimping category.
