IWISS iCrimp Weather Pack Crimper for Delphi APTIV, Metri-Pack 150/280

IWISS iCrimp Weather Pack Crimper: a versatile tool for Delphi Weather Pack and Metri-Pack connectors

Meet the IWISS iCrimp Weather Pack Crimper, a precision tool designed to simplify the assembly of Delphi Weather Pack and Metri-Pack terminals. The IWS-1424B model supports crimping for Metri-Pack 150 and 280 families, both sealed and unsealed, as well as Weather Pack terminals. Its stamped-terminal design emphasizes reliable crimps across a range of open barrel contacts, including D-subminiature sizes. The tool’s two-step crimping action lets you terminate core and insulation wings in separate motions, promoting consistent, durable connections.

One of the standout traits is its slim profile, enabling access to tight spaces within harness assemblies. This makes it a practical companion for projects where factory tools aren’t feasible, from replacing damaged connectors to wiring new pigtails that match OEM wires.

Key capabilities

• Three wire crimping positions and two seal crimping positions ensure versatility for different terminal configurations.
• Separate crimping steps for core and insulation wings help control termination quality.
• Compatibility with Weather Pack, Metri-Pack 150 Sealed/Unsealed, and Metri-Pack 280 Sealed/Unsealed offers broad coverage for modern harnesses.
• Thin profile and accessible design support crimping in confined areas of the vehicle harness.

Real-world uses include upgrading weather-tight connectors on automotive projects, restoring harness integrity after damage, and adding accessories or pigtails without sacrificing factory-quality connections. The IWS-1424B enables DIY enthusiasts to work with OEM-style connectors with confidence, while professionals may appreciate the tool’s efficiency and consistency on repetitive tasks.

While this tool is designed to perform well across the supported connector families, proper technique and inspection remain important. A precise crimp over a clean terminal area tends to yield the most reliable seals and electrical contact. If you’re unsure about a specific terminal type, consult the connector’s datasheet and run a quick crimp test before finalizing the harness.
