I purchased some of these non-insulated flag terminals for a DIY project. I have never seen this type before. Would anyone know what type crimping tool (or die) I would need to properly install these?

Those (and most) flag terminals require a special flag terminal crimping tool.
If you want to use a standard non-insulated crimper, you should look at the Thomas & Betts Sta-Kon B14-250A (assuming you want the 0.250" disconnect in a 14-16 gauge wire range).

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F5CLJT4/?tag=atomicindus08-20

The A14-250A is in the 18-22 gauge wire range.

edit:
****, I overlooked the fact that they're .205" and not .250". Forget the Sta-Kon option then.

Those are .205 series Faston crimps, from a sub range called tab-lok (see pic)



Here is the metric technical diagram

This is the .250 series crimping tool sold by the OEM (looks alot like knipex/reinsteig type).

For additional information, contact the Tooling
Assistance Center at 1-800-722-1111

Not sure if the standard crimpers for .250 would work with them. There is a phone number you can call for technical assistance.

:dunno:

Thank you all for the help. I will mostly be using 16 or 18 gauge wire with these. I have been looking for days with no luck and didn't want to order anything unless I was sure they would work.

OP, Here is some more OEM info on the crimp type, and at least one version of a tool designed for the Tab-loc type crimp. I still think you may want to call the technical number to clarify the best crimper type.

Thank you T45, I think you're right. I should call and make certain.
Thank you for posting the phone # and all the help ;)
