5.4. Parallel Crimping Procedure
1. Position parallel splice between locators as
shown in Figure 3, Detail C.
2. Activate power unit so that moving die advances
and holds splice in place. Do not deform the splice.
3. Insert stripped wires all the way into splice.
Ends of wires must be flush with or extend beyond
ends of splice.
4. Activate power unit to complete the crimp.
NOTE
i
If COPALUM terminal or splice sticks in die after
crimping, apply a rocking action to remove from
die.
5. Refer to Figure 4 and Section 6, CRIMP
INSPECTION.
6. CRIMP INSPECTION
Inspect crimped terminals and splices by checking the
features described in Figure 4. Use only the terminals
and splices that meet the conditions shown in the
“ACCEPT” column. “REJECT” terminals and splices
can be avoided through careful use of instruction in
Section 5, and by performing regular die maintenance
as described in Section 7.
7. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
Tyco Electronics recommends that a maintenance
and inspection program be performed periodically to
ensure dependable and uniform terminations. The
crimping die assembly should be inspected once a
month. Frequency of inspection should be adjusted to
suit your requirements through experience.
Frequency of inspection depends on:
1. The care, amount of use, and handling of the
crimping die assembly.
2. The type and size of the product crimped.
3. The degree of operator skill.
4. The presence of abnormal amounts of dust and
dirt.
5. Your own established standards.
Each die assembly is thoroughly inspected before
packaging. Since there is the possibility of damage
during shipment, new die assemblies should be
inspected immediately upon arrival at your facility.
