cloth. Do NOT use hard or abrasive objects that
could damage the dies.
2. Make sure dies are protected with a THIN coat
of any good SAE No. 20 motor oil. Do NOT oil
excessively.
3. When die assembly is not in use, mate and
store them in a clean, dry area.
5.2. Periodic Inspection
A. Visual Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film
from the dies by immersing the dies in a suitable
commercial degreaser that will not affect paint or
plastic material.
2. Make sure that all die retention screws and die
components are properly secured.
3. Inspect die assembly for worn, cracked, or
broken surfaces. If damage is evident, the dies
must be replaced. See Section 6, REPLACEMENT
PARTS.
B. Gaging the Crimping Section
This inspection requires the use of plug gages
conforming to the dimensions provided in Figure 4.
Tyco Electronics does not manufacture or market
these gages. For each crimping section, proceed as
follows:
1. Remove traces of oil or dirt from the crimping
section and plug gage.
2. Mate the dies until the crimping surfaces have
bottomed; then hold in this position. DO NOT force
the dies beyond initial contact.
3. Carefully insert GO element into the
corresponding crimping section; do not force it.
The GO element must pass completely through the
crimping section.
4. In the same manner, try to insert the NO--GO
element into the same crimping section. The
NO--GO element may start entry, but must not
pass completely through the crimping section.

If the crimping sections conform to the gage
inspection, they are considered dimensionally correct,
and should be lubricated with a THIN coat of any
good SAE No. 20 motor oil. If not, the die assembly
must be replaced. Refer to Section 6,
REPLACEMENT PARTS.
For additional information concerning the use of a
plug gage, refer to Instruction Sheet 408--7424.
