2. Make sure all die holding screws are in place
and secured.
3. Check all bearing surfaces for wear. Replace
worn components.
4. Inspect the crimp area for flattened, chipped,
cracked, worn, or broken areas. If damage is
evident, the dies must be repaired before returning
them to service.

B. Crimp Height Inspection
This inspection incorporates the use of a crimp height
comparator (micrometer with a modified anvil) as
shown in Figure 4. Detailed information on obtaining
and using a crimp height comparator can be found in
instruction sheet 408--7424.

4. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
4.1. Maintenance
1. Remove dust, moisture and other contaminants
with a clean brush, or a soft, lint--free cloth. Do not
use objects that could damage the dies.
2. Make sure that dies are properly aligned and
that die holding screws are in place and secured.
3. Make certain that all surfaces are protected with
a thin coat of any good SAE 20 motor oil. Do not
oil excessively.
4. When dies are not in use, store in a clean, dry
area.
4.2. Inspection
Regular inspections should be performed with a
record of inspections remaining with the dies and/or
supervisory personnel responsible for them. One
inspection per month is recommended; however,
amount of use, working conditions, operator training
and skill, and established company standards should
determine frequency of inspection. The inspection
should be performed in the following sequence:
A. Visual Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by
immersing the dies in a suitable commercial
degreaser that will not affect paint or plastic
material.

Proceed as follows:
1. Refer to Figure 4 and select a contact and
maximum size wire for the dies.
2. Refer to Section 3, CRIMPING PROCEDURE,
and crimp the contact accordingly.
3. Using the crimp height comparator, measure the
wire barrel crimp height as shown in Figure 4.
If the crimp height conforms to that shown in Figure 4,
the dies are considered dimensionally correct and
should be lubricated with a thin coat of any good SAE
20 motor oil. If not, the dies must be repaired or
replaced. Refer to Section 5, REPLACEMENT AND
REPAIR.
5. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR
Customer--replaceable parts are listed in Figure 5.
A complete inventory should be stocked and
controlled to prevent lost time when replacement of
parts is necessary. Parts other than those listed
should be replaced by Tyco Electronics to ensure
quality and reliability. Order replacement parts
