3.2. Splices
The preferred (first) method is:
NOTE
i
Crimping head 1976230-1 CANNOT crimp
splices.
Break Away
Terminal Cutout
Figure 5
1. Insert properly stripped wire fully into splice.
CAUTION
!
Do NOT turn or twist the wire/splice during
insertion.
NOTE
i
Make sure splice is properly aligned in
stationary die so that moving die will crimp
wire barrel of splice.
NOTE
i
If terminal sticks in die after crimping, apply a
rocking action to remove it from the die. Wipe
light oil on dies to prevent sticking, or use spray
dry lubricant.
The alternate second method is:
1. Position terminal in stationary die (nest) with
back of tongue resting against die.
NOTE
i
Make certain that terminal is positioned so that
wire barrel crimper on moving die (anvil) will
crimp wire barrel of terminal. See Figure 4.
2. The wire is not inserted into the terminal.
Instead, Jog to advance the ram to hold the
terminal. This is difficult to do; If the terminal barrel
is deformed, the wire may not be inserted properly.
3. Insert properly stripped wire fully into terminal.
CAUTION
!
Do NOT turn or twist the wire/terminal during
insertion.
4. Holding wire in place, activate power unit to
complete crimp.
5. Remove crimped terminal from the die
assembly. See Figure 5 for information on where to
grip break away terminals when removing them
from the die assembly.
NOTE
i
If terminal sticks in die after crimping, apply a
rocking action to remove it from the die. Wipe
light oil on dies to prevent sticking, or use spray
dry lubricant.
2. Position splice in die assembly so that edge of
die is within width of splice crimp mark. The stripe
marking on splice must be inside die, facing up,
and in alignment with dot on nest. See Figure 6.
NOTE
i
When using splices with a color coded band
around end of splice, use correct copper
conductors in the color coded end.
3. Holding wire in place, activate power unit to
complete first splice crimp.
4. When crimp is completed, remove the splice.
NOTE
i
If splice sticks in die after crimping, apply a
rocking action to remove it from the die. Wipe
light oil on dies to reduce sticking, or use spray
dry lubricant.
5. To crimp other half of splice, rotate the
splice/tool 180_, making sure the stripe marking on
the splice is inside the assembly, facing up, and in
alignment with dot on nest. See Figure 6. Follow
the same procedure used to crimp first side of
splice (steps 1 through 4).
The alternate (second) method is slightly different, but
very important. The difference is in preceding Step 1.
1. Position splice in die assembly so that edge of
die is within width of splice crimp mark. The stripe
marking on splice must be inside die, facing up,
and in alignment with dot on nest. See Figure 6.
2. Do NOT insert wire into splice, instead, jog to
advance the ram to hold the splice. This is difficult
to do; If the splice is deformed, the wire may not be
inserted properly.
3. Insert properly stripped wire fully into splice wire
barrel.
